Welcome to the Church of the Ancient Paths!
"Pagan, pagan, what are you seeking,
Through all of the days of your long earthly tread?
Your sunrise and moonrise what chances are bringing?
Where will your travelling footsteps be led?"
(From "The Road" by Doreen Valiente)

The Church of the Ancient Paths is a non-sectarian, non-creedal interfaith Pagan church. The Church functions from the premise that the Divine has created us in so many forms: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, surely there must be many ways to worship. With respect for the Divine within us all, we support and encourage our members in their explorations of their spirituality.
We, the Assembly of the Church of the Ancient Paths, define a church as a group of individuals who gather for the purpose of engaging in communal religious activity, whether public or private. We define Pagan as one who has reverence for the natural world, recognizes that humans are a thread in the web of the universe, accepts personal responsibility for their actions with awareness that each action affects their surroundings, and holds that no intermediary or intercessory is necessary to have a relationship with the Divine.
We do not sponsor, condone, or embrace any aspect of a path which is advocates or involves hate, bias, oppression or exclusion of any person or group of people on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, ethnic or national origin, social or economic status, employment, education, disability, health, happenstance of birth (ie: natural, clone, bio-engineered, etc.) gender or sexual orientation.
