We, the Founding Members of LORE, a group of individuals concerned
|
|
with the future of the Earth and all of the creatures who co-
|
|
habitate with her are forming a society in which the Tenets of
|
|
Wicca will be used to create a sanctuary to all those who are
|
|
Wiccan or interested in the craft.
|
|
|
|
We support the individuality of all people (wiccan and non-wiccan)
|
|
and do not promote any one method of worship, however the major
|
|
purpose of LORE is to educate people on what Wicca represents, and
|
|
to give solitary practitioners of the craft a place to meet other
|
|
Solitaries, as well as Coven members in a relaxed and informal
|
|
atmosphere.
|
|
|
|
In support of the aforementioned statement, we believe that the
|
|
following rights are universal to all creatures of the Earth:
|
|
|
|
o All people have the right to be treated with dignity and
|
|
respect, without regard to their religion.
|
|
|
|
o All members of any religion have the right to be treated as
|
|
equals. Acceptance of one form of worship does not make any
|
|
human less of a person.
|
|
|
|
o All people have the right to worship freely in any form seen
|
|
as necessary to them as long as it does not interfere with the
|
|
rights of any other person or group.
|
|
|
|
o Acceptance of a specified religion is only part of the whole.
|
|
Personal expression fills the gap where the religion leaves
|
|
the holes.
|
|
|
|
o All people possess the right of conscience, and the right to
|
|
participate in the decisions affecting themselves.
|
|
|
|
o All people have the right to live in a peaceful world, free
|
|
from the threat of death by war or environmental destruction.
|
|
|
|
The only responsibility of any person is the following:
|
|
|
|
o All people need to respect the Earth and the web of inter-
|
|
dependance of which we are a part.
|
|
|
|
This can be accomplished by individuals if they adhere to the
|
|
above mentioned rights for creatures of the Earth.
|
|
|
|
LORE dedicates itself to the aforementioned task.
