Pathways Sanctuary

Walk Your Path With Us

Pathways Sanctuary was incorporated in 2005 to fill a need. There were plenty of "churches" who would give anybody who paid their price a diploma as a Minister, Saint, Doctor, etc. There were also many Distance Learning colleges and universities offering degrees and diplomas in various business and technical courses. But there wasn't, so far as we noticed, a religious organization offering the Distance Education concept to prospective Ministers, especially in "non-traditional" religions.

Pathways Sanctuary provides an overall religious body for those practicing Lightworking paths of spirituality. (See "Philosophy" page, accessed from the menu) Pathways Sanctuary is made up of three parts:

The Sanctuary religious organization - we offer our Bachelor's and higher graduates a numbered, renewable Ministerial License (which is also revokable, should any Minister be found upon careful investigation to be practicing in a clearly unethical manner);
The Seminary educational organization, which validates life lessons and administers classes, seminars, and degree programs; and
The Foundation charitable organization, which receives all profits from the other two operations and accepts charitable donations, all of which are to be distributed to those in financial need. Our Board is unpaid, and we will work to incur as close to no administrative costs as is possible.

Our path is a simple one, and easily explained. If you agree with the basic philosophy, what you add is not important to us (i.e., belief in reincarnation, etc.) other than the ethical framework included in those beliefs. We do not discriminate on the basis of religion, but would suggest that Christians and Muslims may have other avenues. We will gladly credential members of any Eastern or Western spiritual path.
