Mountain Peaks and Pantheism

From time immemorial, humans have climbed mountains to gain renewal, perspective, and enlightenment. For Pantheists, who possess a kinship with nature more richly developed than the population at large, to stand atop a mountain often instills a special spiritual inspiration.

The Once and Future World Religion

Long ago Pantheism overspread the world. Yet contemporary reference books contain scant mention of the religion. How could a once universal faith go so little recognized today? And how could Pantheism go worldwide again tomorrow?

Pantheism and Children

One of the greatest things parents can bestow, after all, is a spacious religious faith that brings meaning and direction to young lives.

By sharing the truth and beauty of Pantheism, you can give your children a sparkling sense of meaning, wonder and joy, kept bright by a faith in divinity as vast as the Universe.
