So then, you may be asking, what is the Church of Radcliffe all about? Radcliffe has been described many ways by many people. We promote the living of one's life, as one see's fit, for we consider freedom to be a most holy gift. Whether religious or spiritual concerns enter this is entirely up to the individual.
One of our most favorite descriptions comes from our brothers and sisters in Copenhagan and defines the Church of Radcliffe Thusly:
Most Supreme and Holy Church of the Mysteries of Indulgence
Sacred Keeper of the Secrets of Manifest Pleasure
One of our co-founders described the Radcliffian Experience as "one of joy and staring down the double-barrel [shotgun] of life."
It has also been said that Radcliffe "puts the RAD back in Church."
We welcome everyone, no matter what walk of life you hail from. We encourage all people to live their lives according to their own edicts. We believe that one's religious experience is both sacred and (more importantly) personal. Our clergy is there for those who need it. The fellowship of our Church is there for those who need it. Those who have no such need are under no obligation to us. Everyone who encounters the Church of Radcliffe takes what they will from the experience.
We hold as true the belief that there is no one true path. It is for you to decide which path is true for you. We will offer guidance to those who seek it, but we will not pass judgment on your choices provided you respect the sovereign rights of your fellow Radcliffians. You are free to believe, worship, venerate, experience life in any manner you see fit. We only ask that you respect the rights of others to do the same.
We put the emphasis on LIFE. We expect you to live yours to the fullest of your ability. Find that which brings you joy, and the Church will support you in your endeavors to achieve bliss.
In the words of Albert Camus, You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
