Welcome to the Live Oak Experiential
Church.
The Live Oak Experiential Church has many
facets - this website
will attempt to bring them together to give you a full view of what we
believe.
We are dedicated to exploring the wisdom
of all Spiritual paths in light. Knowledge and experience
bring
wisdom and enlightenment. We believe that everyone must find
their own truth. We value the wisdom of all the world's
religions, and solidly believe in a Divine Creator. We believe
that our religion is HOW we live each and every day of our life, and
the most important principal of all is LOVE.
We
welcome, with open arms, all people
who are open minded and base their life in love.
We welcome all religions and look forward to the richness that you can
bring to our community.
Our Prayer
Our Providers
and Protectors,
who are everywhere and in everything,
we open our hearts to all that you are.
May the order of Your Universe
become clearly understood.
May Your Will come into being,
as above, so below; as within, so without.
Nurture our spiritual story.
Grant us now the wealth of the harvest
above and beyond our needs
and grant us peace, power, and balance,
as we strive for forgiveness, justice, and wisdom.
Let the trials we must experience
strengthen our inner being
and bring us to safe harbor.
So mote it be. |
What
Does This Symbol Mean?
This
symbol has become the symbol of Live Oak Experiential
Church. It was originally created by Reverend Fred R.
deFerbrache III in the summer of 1998. It is inclusive of many
religions - as is our Church.
There is the Cross of Christianity, the Star of David, the Pentagram
associated with Pagan beliefs (a symbol said to have been given to King
Solomon by the Angel Gabriel), the Circle which appears in many
Aboriginal beliefs including Native American, and the Phases of the
Moon in front of the Sun which includes many Earth based
religions. All on a black background symbolizing both the
Universe, and protection.
What Is Experiential?
When
investigating the Live
Oak Experiential Church the most common
question involves the word 'Experiential'. There is a big
difference between 'Experiential' and 'experimental'. We are NOT
experimental.
ex·pe·ri·en·tial ( k-spîr - n sh l)
adj. Relating
to or
derived from experience.
The above information for the word
Experiential (as seen in Live Oak Experiential Church) comes from The
Free Dictionary on the web.
