Sharing Water: Church of All Worlds Member handbook

Sharing Water: Church of All Worlds Member handbook. An introduction, explanation and full presentation of the philosophy and teachings of the first legally-incorporated Pagan church. The sacred mission of the Church of All Worlds is to evolve a network of information, mythology and experience to awaken the divine within and to provide a context and stimulus for reawakening Gaea and reuniting Her children through tribal community dedicated to responsible stewardship and the evolution of consciousness. The Church of All Worlds has been one of the three most important and influential expressions of Paganism in America, the others being Pagan Witchcraft and Druidry, and it has been primarily developed and sustained by Oberon Zell and his late partner Morning Glory. Ronald Hutton Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft, 2000 The Church of All Worlds (CAW) was founded in the tumultuous 1960s and has flourished, with occasional turbulence, into the twenty-first century. Inspired by Stranger in a Strange Land and led by Oberon Zell, the CAW represents the continuing human endeavor to reach for a radiant future amid the circle of life and immanence of spiritual transcendence. As a uniquely American NeoPagan church with international scope, CAW pioneered the ecospiritual worldview and restored lost wisdom from the past while obsessing about how to beautify the future. I believe it represents no less than a template for how humanity might, and probably will, craft the coming century into an enduring legacy of peace, prosperity, compassion and love-perennial values that live in the heart like seedlings in the dark soil of evolutionary destiny and abiding hope.
