All those who support the mission and purpose of Sacred Circle are
welcome to apply for membership. Membership applications will be available at all
of our events.
Q. Why should I join?
A. Since one of our goals is to eventually purchase property with the Sacred Earth fund
for the
use of our community, we feel that the community members who support
this goal should have
a
say in where the land is, how it is used, and what is done with it in the long
run.
Simply put, membership in the church gives the community that voice. Every
member
who meets the voting criteria has an equal vote. If you would like to help work towards this common goal, and
want to have a say in what happens, then you should join.
Q. Do I have to give up membership in my other groups/traditions etc.?
A. Absolutely not. We have no loyalty pledges or oaths of secrecy.
Membership is
open to all who share the common vision of working toward a larger goal. We do
not demand nor expect exclusivity. We support openness, sharing of resources
and networking between both leaders and laypeople alike. We encourage
and support diversity as critical to a healthy community.
