Does The Stelle Group Sponsor Any Worship Services? Question: Does
The Stelle Group sponsor any worship services? Answer: In
The Stelle Group, we have meetings where philosophy and the goals that we are
trying to accomplish are discussed. These meetings are held on a regular basis twice a month. But we have no priest or minister to conduct communion or
other ritual. To establish any type of ritualized worship led by a person
implies that there be a priesthood, and the
Brotherhoods are very much opposed to the establishment of a priesthood in
Stelle and in the Of course, there are many emotional
experiences that people can have by thinking about God and by going to church
and thinking of Christ’s concern for us and how He has uplifted mankind. However, appreciation and awareness of that
really has little to do with an individual’s Egoic growth. When we consider worship, what is really important is recognizing that there are Greater
Beings who are helping us and who indeed created us; we need not feel
abandoned or cast adrift in a very perplexing sea of trouble. Therein,
worship has value. Worship, in my estimation, is best
conducted in the privacy of one’s own mind. Worship should be an
individual’s thoughts and not ritualized guidance from the pulpit. (04-1974) |
