MEDITATION

I release all distractions and concerns of the outer world and turn inward toward my highest, best, and most receptive self. I remember and embrace my true and unique connection with Divine Source Energy and the Collective Creators. I rest, I relax and I listen.

(Allow time for meditation. )


I now allow, acknowledge, accept and affirm that this is so.

Personalizing an Ordination with Music

ADL Mentors are keenly aware that every Mentee who qualifies through their ADL studies to be Ordained and receive their own Charter and Chapel is unique. Anyone who knows our Alliance of Divine Love culture understands that we are not a “cookie-cutter” church.

Our primary tenet of “Love is All There Is” is an open ingredients list for recipes to bake, sauté, stir-fry and juice new ministries of infinitely diverse manifestation. A…

By Rev. Brian Kirsch

I’m not a real intern, but I play one on planet Earth.”

~ Robert Young - Dr. Welby M.D.

The Good Man had some simple suggestions that would be good for us all to follow.


Judge not.

We can never know that we have a correct interpretation of everything that is pertinent to the issue at hand. So we cannot reliably judge. Clarifying information may arrive tomorrow, so don't judge others, or yourself.

A twisted adventure of the highest degree of love

One day, a young woman (we’ll call her Goldilocks) ventured into the woods in search of a deeper meaning to life. While on her sojourn, she came upon a small cottage. She was intrigued as to why anyone would have a home in the middle of the woods. Upon turning the handle on the door, it opened. Looking in, Goldilocks noticed that there was no one home. So she let herself in.

Let’s hold the story here for a second…It seems …

by Rev. Annie Nelson

Hello! 

I pray all is well as we “live forward” creating a better world today and for all of our tomorrows. I’d like to share some insights with you from some recent experience(s) I’ve had, and I do this in recognition of life’s synchronicity and the Divine Consciousness (awareness/unity with God) that I’m feeling so blessed to have experienced and need to share.

I recently made a decision to move to a new city, recognizing that I needed to be living in a more progressive…
