Doug, this was taken from my church home page. (namasteplace.com) Hope this helps.
here is what we think:
There is no devil. God is all there is in the Universe. There is only One Power and that is God. God is Intelligence, Energy, Love, Abundance, and the Creative source back of all things. Each human being is a creation of God, made in Its image and likeness, with the choice of how to use universal principles. Evil is a result of man’s misuse of these principles, and not sourced by a separate power.
God is not human, and has no gender or limiting human emotion such as anger, wrath, vengefulness, or jealousy. God does not ever deny us or punish us but has provided the Law of Cause and Effect that says that whatever we believe, we create. We experience the consequences of this freedom of choice, never punishment by God.
The “Word” of God is the great Causative Power of the Universe. God is eternally initiating the Divine Creative Process. Since the human spirit is One with Universal Spirit, our thought is creative and we re-enact in microcosm the Divine Creative Process in our lives.
here is what we're not:
We do not teach you what to think. We support independent, positive, life-giving, affirmative thinking as the approach to even the most difficult of life situations. We are not a cult devoted to or obsessed with a person or principle. We do not worship a leader or a book, nor do we look to UFO’s, crystals, tarot cards or even Jesus to save us. We deplore judgment and prejudice toward any people no matter what their race, religion or sexual orientation.
We do not proselytize, evangelize or attempt to convert anyone.
We are not the same as Christian Science and we have no association with Scientology. We are not a “New Age” church.
