“Earth care is therefore one of the beatitudes of a humane, caring and loving community.  It is also integral to achieving holistic health care: Healthcare = People care and Animal care and Earth care.  The health and wealth of the people (People care) is dependent upon a healthy environment (Earth care) and upon the healthy wild and domestic animal population (Animal care).”  Michael W. Fox, D.Sc., Ph.D., B. Vet. Med., MRCVS

The Enlightened Earth Care Church is a Way of Life interfaith Church.

The church acknowledges as its sole Head, the Creator, Our ancestors did not have a religion; they had a Way of Life. A Way that kept one constantly aware of the sacredness and oneness of all Life. They understood that all things come from Creator, are one with Creator, which Creation and Creator are ONE. One can say that Creator is Life, Love, Intelligence, and since all are of Creator, all things have Life, Love, and Intelligence - Spirit. All things are of Creator, from the farthest Star, to the smallest grain of Sand.

Our ancestors had a spirituality, and lived it every hour of each day (most did, there are always exceptions in all Creation); many still do. Moreover, Creator is Creator, the Great Mystery, whether called God, Allah, Wakan Tanka, Dios, Dineh, or whatever. Most do not even understand what Jesus taught, although they think they do. They do not understand that the Creation and Creator (God) are one.

We recognize Mother Earth as our beginning and ending, and reflection of our Spirit experience given to us by our Creator.
We believe that at one time Two-legged (mankind) all around Mother Earth had this Knowledge and lived in closeness to All Our Relations, thus with Creator.   Nevertheless, most have lost this Knowledge and no longer lived in Harmony.   They do not even understand what Jesus taught, although they think they do.   So because they do not understand that Creation and the Creator, the Great Mystery, whether called God, Allah, Wakan Tanka, Dios, Dineh, or whatever name you chose to call him are one.

Inasmuch as they differ from the reality and the essential teachings of the Manifestations of the Creator, dissensions have arisen and prejudice has developed.  Religious prejudice thus becomes the cause of warfare and battle.  If we abandon these timeworn imitations and investigate reality, all of us will be unified.  No discord will remain; antagonism will disappear.  All will associate in fellowship.

We do not attempt to define the belief of the individual, knowing that belief is a deeply personal matter, a part of our ongoing journey together.

We do recognize, support, and incorporate into the body of our experience as a Church; those practices that we perceive commonly shared and expressed among the many indigenous and modern traditions of Earth Religions.

The Sanctuary shall provide a safe haven for victims of domestic violence and their companion animals to liberate themselves from such violence and abuse.

A Sanctuary for all animals, wild and domestic, that have suffered from injuries, neglect, and violence.
