“Here at the Sunshine Cathedral we are seekers and students of truth, empowered by spirit, sharing the light with the world.” Sunshine Cathedral’s Mission Statement & Affirmation

I love our simple affirmative mission statement.

We are seekers… There is always more to learn, experience, do, share, and understand. Where we’ve been is wonderful, but the journey isn’t over. We continue to seek, to explore, and to expand.

…and students… Another word for student is “disciple”. We are always learning more about our sacred value, the reliability of the omnipresence we call “God” and how to use what we learn in practical ways to bless our lives and our world.

…of truth… Truth isn’t the same as “facts”. We aren’t seeking for “correct” answers to pre-approved questions. We are seeking to express the Truth of Life, which is Love and Unity and Everlasting Goodness. We are seeking to embrace this Truth more fully so that we might share it, offering it to a world in need of the liberation it promises.

… empowered by spirit… Spirit is the power, the presence, the energy, the life-giving activity of God. As we embrace our unity with the divine Presence, we are empowered to live lives of hope, peace, joy, goodwill, and achievement.

…sharing the light with the world. Once we learn to believe in ourselves, and in the God who has created us in Her/His own image, we then want everyone to experience the hope and joy that such a positive belief offers. We share our message so that everyone can believe in themselves and become their best selves.  Our affirmation declares that we are learning, growing, evolving, and sharing the best of what we are so that others can be their best as well. What a wonderful mission. It will take work to fulfill, and we’ll be better at it at some times than at others, but it is definitely a worthy goal to constantly work toward.
