The Center for Living Earth is a Religious Organization,  Interfaith Council and Seminary Program which is registered as a Church in Ulster County , New York.

     Established in 1987, The Center for the Living Earth is committed to bring a healing among nations, faiths and traditions through mutual respect and education.

The Center for the Living Earth follows the aims and charter of The United Religions Initiative which states:  We, people of diverse religions, spiritual expressions and indigenous traditions throughout the world, seek to promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, to end religiously motivated violence and to create cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings.

We respect the uniqueness of each tradition, and differences of practice or belief.

We value voices that respect others, and believe that sharing our values and wisdom can lead us to act for the good of all.

We believe that our religious, spiritual lives, rather than dividing us, guide us to build community and respect for one another.

Therefore, as interdependent people rooted in our traditions, we now unite for the benefit of our Earth community.

We unite to build cultures of peace and justice.

We unite to heal and protect the Earth.

We unite to build safe places for conflict resolution, healing and reconciliation.

We unite to support freedom of religion and spiritual expression, and the rights of all individuals and peoples as set forth in international law.

We unite in responsible cooperative action to bring the wisdom and values of our religions, spiritual expressions and indigenous traditions to bear on the economic, environmental, political and social challenges facing our Earth community.

We unite to provide a global opportunity for participation by all people, especially by those whose voices are not often heard.

We unite to celebrate the joy of blessings and the light of wisdom in both movement and stillness.

We unite to use our combined resources only for nonviolent, compassionate action, to awaken to our deepest truths, and to manifest love and justice among all life in our Earth community.

The Center for the Living Earth hosts numerous programs and conferences as well as a Master's level  interfaith seminary which brings together a thorough grounding in the world's religions, including the many  Indigenous and Earth traditions, with a focus on counseling and ceremonial work.

We look forward to hearing from you. May peace prevail on Earth, may it begin with me.
