Share insights and core truths with the public

Share the unique, core truths (as opposed to ideology) in your traditional texts, customs, and beliefs. Make them accessible to the public and available to anyone who might be interested. Disclose the special insights of your organization on their own terms (as opposed to the imposition of authority). Be as open and inclusive as possible (without diluting special, unique insights).


Truth is universal. Every truth can be applied to any person or situation. Wisdom should not be hoarded. Religions are our common birthright, and belong equally to everyone. They are storehouses of wisdom, from which we may draw our own portion.
What special truths does your religion offer? How can this be shared with those who are not participants in this tradition or have no knowledge of it?

Support all other local religious organizations

Have knowledge of and respect for other religions and ways of life. Collaborate helpfully with other religious groups and organizations.
Establish a place for all other religious groups, within your community. Share your unique insights, with the goal of building a common framework for a larger spiritual community. Join with other churches in practical social action.


Explore the insights and strengths of other religions, churches, sects and ways of life. Find out how you agree, rather than on how you differ. Focus on what is good in each organization, not what is harmful.
Do not claim that your views are the only correct ones. Do not claim that your system is the only way to achieve happiness.

Direct experience and knowledge of central truths

Present the core truths of your spiritual tradition not as dogma to be accepted, but as insights to be experienced.
Encourage participants to find out these truths by free, independent thought.
Religion is first and foremost a way to share spiritual insights. Tradition is secondary.
Reduce authoritarian or hierarchical practices. Repudiate unthinking obedience to leaders or traditions.
