We welcome
all persons who has an interest in the Cantheist belief.
Our
Mission is to encourage and provoke the Divine in each of us to flower in its own unique way and to provide community outreach
programs that will benefit our neighbors and community at large.
We promote the religious rights and freedoms
of individuals in the church. This includes the right to use sacraments such as Cannabis for spiritual awakening or for spiritual
and physical healing. As has been used throughout the ages as described in the Holy Bible.
Cantheism, also Kantheism, is a modern term for religions based on the inherent goodness of the cannabis plant. Adherents are known as cantheists or cannabists. Cantheism neither endorses nor discriminates against any other church, faith, or system of belief.
That God is our Father and that we are all, the entire human race, one spiritual family and that there are as many paths to God as there are people to walk them.
That Cannabis is a Holy Sacrament from times of antiquity.
This unifier of religious thought allows us to draw upon the broad scope of human religious experience in the determination of the form our religious practice takes.
We draw upon many religious texts, including the Holy Bible, and many others to establish and verify our religious practices.
Churches have common elements in differing attributes, such as but not limited to; religious text, religious practices, religious symbols and religious rituals.
If you choose to be a member of our church you are very welcome to do so. Our God is no respecter of persons nor are we.
We strongly and aggressively protect our members right to grow and use Gods' Holy Healing plants of all varieties as described in the Bible.
We also protect their right to not use as they choose.
Cantheism neither endorses nor discriminates against any other church, faith, or system of belief. Anyone may incorporate Cantheism into their current religious persuasion, so long as they adhere to the Creed.
