believe that not only are we all connected to each other and all living beings on earth, we are also connected to all of those who have come before us and passed over to the other side.

We believe that it must be used before proceeding and in matters of our faith, including, but not limited to, spiritual counseling, pre-wedding consultation, and decisions made to do spiritual work (or not) for church members. We believe that the decision regarding whether or not to ask for a donation for divination services and the amount of donation asked for is solely at the discretion of the individual minister performing the service.
8. We believe that western and alternative medical care, healthy food, and safe indoor living spaces are basic human rights, not privileges.
