THE CHURCH OF LOVE
“It has no fabric but understanding.
It has no membership save those who know that they belong.
It has no rivals because it is non-competitive.
It has no ambitions, it seeks only to serve.
It knows no boundaries for nationalism's are unloving.
It is not of itself because it seeks only to enrich all groups and religions.
It acknowledges all great Teachers of all ages who have shown the Truth of Love.
Those who participate practice the truth of Love in all their beings.
There is no walk of life or nationality that is a barrier.
Those who are, know.
It seeks not to teach but to be, and by being, enrich.
It recognises that the way we are may be the way of those around us because we are that way.
It recognises the whole planet as a Being of which we are a part.
It recognises that the time has come for the supreme transmutation, the ultimate alchemical act of
conscious change of the ego into a voluntary return to the whole.
It does not proclaim itself with a loud voice but in the subtler realms of loving.
It salutes all those in the past who have blazoned the path but have paid the price.
It admits no hierarchy or structure for no-one is greater than another.
Its members shall know one another by their deeds and being and by their eyes and
no other outward sign save the fraternal embrace.
Each one will dedicate their life to the silent loving of their neighbour and the environment
and the planet whilst carrying out their task however exalted or humble.
It recognises the the supremacy of the great idea which may be only accomplished
if the human race practices the supremacy of love.
It has no reward to offer here or in the hereafter save the ineffable joy of being and loving.
Each shall seek to advance the cause of understanding, doing good by stealth and teaching only by example.
They shall hear their neighbour, their community and our planet.
They shall know no fear, and feel no shame and their witness shall prevail over all odds.
It has no secret, no arcanum, no initiation, save that off true understanding of the power of Love and that,
if we want it to be so, the world will only change if we change ourselves first.
All those who belong, belong.
They belong to the Church of Love.”
