A Church of Canthe

Disclaimer
In light of current events surrounding the persecution of our brother and sister
cannabis churches, we issue this statement:
We at the Free Life Ministry support our brothers and sisters during
these times of religious persecution.
We
ask that you pray for the religious prosecutors who wish to suppress any religion not sanctioned by the state. However, we do not support any illegal buying or selling
of sacraments.
Rev. Roger Shorey

...and it happened that as He was reclining at the table in the house, behold many tax-gatherers and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and
His Disciples!
Mat.
9:10
Most of us have grown up in the western cultural view of what "Church"
is. It is often closely associated with a building or campus that houses a group of people who have a shared experience in
Christ. While we honor the role of the Legacy Church or Institutional
Church in our lives, we must extend the conversation to include a new (yet ancient) stream of gathering. The Home Church / Simple Church The new
testament writers point to the home as a center of life and ministry. Much of Jesus' ministry took place in the
homes of those He loved and called. Some common points of these "Simple Church" gatherings included:
* Shared meals
* Everyone contributes (1 Cor. 14) * Personal ministry * Close relationships * Spiritual led * Shared financial
responsibility
* Shared lives ****

First, this is a church. That means that we are primarily concerned
with how we should live, individually and collectively, so that we might become better people, partners, parents and citizens.
We seek, in many different ways, for values worth living by - or to put it in theological language, for gods worth serving
with our lives.

Cantheism, also Kantheism, is a modern term
for religions based on the inherent goodness of the cannabis plant. Adherents are known as cantheists or cannabists. Cantheism
neither endorses nor discriminates against any other church, faith, or system of belief. The Free Life Ministry is a church of like minded
individuals who believe:
That
God is our Father and that we are all, the entire human race, one spiritual family and that there are as many paths to God
as there are people to walk them.
That Cannabis is a Holy Sacrament from times of antiquity.
This
unifier of religious thought allows us to draw upon the broad scope of human religious experience in the determination of
the form our religious practice takes.
We draw upon many religious texts, including the Holy Bible, and many
others to establish and verify our religious practices.
Churches have common elements in differing attributes,
such as but not limited to; religious text, religious practices, religious symbols and religious rituals.
If
you choose to be a member of our church you are very welcome to do so. Our God is no respecter of persons nor are we.
We strongly and aggressively protect our members right to grow and use Gods' Holy Healing plants of all varieties
as described in the Bible.
We also protect their right to not use as they choose.
 We welcome all persons who has
an interest in the Cantheist belief.
Our Mission is to encourage
and provoke the Divine in each of us to flower in its own unique way and to provide community outreach programs that will
benefit our neighbors and community at large.
We promote the religious rights and freedoms of individuals in
the church. This includes the right to use sacraments such as Cannabis for spiritual awakening or for spiritual and physical
healing. As has been used throughout the ages as described in the Holy Bible.
