THE CHURCH OF LOVE & THE TREATY OF FAITHS
A Proposal by Rebecca Tacosa Gray for President Barack Obama, fully copyrighted by U. S. Copyright TX-16017, U.S. Jurat & U.S. Mail.
PURPOSE:
To ask the U.S. Government to build a new church, The Church of Love, to set a New precedent for Love in our world, to be built and maintained in Washington, D.C . This church respects all religions, all faiths, and all philosophies. The Church of Love’s true Philosophy, that Love be present on all minds, and that love bind and connect all religions in Respect and Brotherhood. It would support the beauty of all people, and the belief that all people on this earth are equal. Love is the only True Natural Religion. My church is already accessible online at http://www.achurchoflove.com/.
TEXT: LOVE LOVES. LOVE FIGHTS. LOVE WINS.—By Rebecca Tacosa Gray
SONG: THE LOVE OF THE CENTURY—By Rebecca Tacosa Gray
GENERAL IDEAS: To build The Church of Love, a church that brings together and celebrates all Faiths. We are a world of people whose common language truly is love, and my Church of Love would celebrate our Unity. We are human beings, and beautiful in our humanity.
The Church itself should be made of bricks, and the bricks should be engraved with the names of every Church of every faith in the United States. Before the Church of Love is built, requests are sent out for Churches to "buy" a brick to be engraved. The engravings signify that they are joining hands with all faiths to tell the world that We Are Love, and that we recognize our unique beliefs and will attempt to stop judging each other. It will be a TREATY OF FAITHS. On Valentine's Day all Churches should talk to their constituencies and tell them that interfaith judgement should stop, and that tolerance by understanding that all Faiths are unique and lead to Love. I would like to see this happen as a Worldwide endeavor, a true Universal occurance. If we did this, it would be the first in history, and all people would agree to stop persecuting each other due to their Faith, their Spiritual beliefs, or Life choices. Churches of all Faiths should state that holding one's beliefs is beloved, but to act upon or judge another based on Faith or Life Choices cannot happen. WE MUST FACE OUR LOVE. WE MUST FACE OURSELVES. WE MUST FACE OUR CHURCHES, HOLD HANDS, AND REALIZE WE ARE NOT SO VERY DIFFERENT AFTER ALL. WE MUST SIGN THE TREATY TO END JUDGEMENTAL PERSECUTION ON THIS EARTH. AND IT MUST BE A TREATY BETWEEN ALL PEOPLES, FORGED IN LOVE, AND MAINTAINED KNOWING WE ARE UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. If it starts in the United States, and we set the example, we might also be able to reach out worldwide to find a way to touch all Religious Traditions in love.
The physical church: round, so that no evil could exist. It would be protected by love and prayers, that those who enter who are troubled would be protected. A band would surround the outside that would have "The Church of Love" in all languages, English over the entry. The colors would be creams, tans, on the floors a rust, red. Flowers, Magnolias, Daisies and Tiger Lilies. A central Column, large, with the interior space rounded, that one could enter into. This space would house Love, and be blessed by all religions and philosophies (including Atheism) in love. In the outer space, the walls divided into sections, one each for the religions of the world, with short explanations of each and their treatise on love. Artwork meant to show their unique culture. Angels, beautiful Angels, everywhere. I am someone who believes that Angels, winged beings in every culture, do not get enough credit for who they are and what they do. They protect, love and cherish, and don't ask anything in return. Angels, everywhere, to protect the house of love and celebrate charity, kindness, humility and love. (Angels and winged beings are present in every culture.) There will be NO crosses, NO celebration of sacrifice. Beauty only. Life only. Love only.
Confession: confession will be handled in a way that shows compassion for all people. They will be written on an embossed piece of paper with the symbol below. On the back side of the paper, this statement:
At the top, "My confession is not a license to commit more negative actions, it is a call to my soul to repair and change myself." At the bottom, "In my life, my beautiful life henceforth, I will look at myself. I will recognize the weight of my actions. I will endeavor to be Honor itself, the Best Within Me."
They will not be read. Your confession is between your God, Love, the Holy Spirit, and you. (We are in the age of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is neither male nor female, and represents all life. The Holy Spirit has inspired diverse languages, diverse cultures, diverse belief systems and diverse loyalties. The Holy Spirit asks us to listen to each other, to learn each other's languages, to discover what they have in common, and to join in overcoming the forces that divide them.)
The plaque for confession would read as follows:
LOOK AT YOURSELF AND BECOME BEAUTIFUL. THE CENTER OF ONE’S FAITH RESIDES IN ONE’S SELF.
What it means to look at one's self: It means that you truly and deeply love yourself. It means your willing to recognize, however shameful some events might be, your faults, your transgressions. It is a true and beautiful action, stating that you recognize the consequences of your actions, that you recognize that you're beautiful, that you recognize that negativity never brings forth beauty. Believe in your own Honor. Know that you will not be judged, but that you must, MUST, change. As much as possible Honor must reside in you, with awareness to love, cherish, and care about your own beauty enough not to judge others, not to commit crimes, but to try and make this world a better place by making yourself a more beautiful person. You are the work of art in this world, and you make yourself beautiful. Consider who you are, right now, in context of your actions throughout your life. Write your thoughts in regards to the negative, ALL of the negative, on paper. Put it in the box, and know that you are forgiven. You will walk from this place beautiful. Beautiful. You will make a difference, in yourself and others. And in love, the Universe will be love within you. All Love Hold You and Keep You Close.
For those who are Atheist, your beautiful recognition will be for you and you alone, and is meant to heal you. Every Wednesday, they will be burned in a large marble basin, and you are forgiven. You are forgiven, and you are loving character itself. To look at oneself is the hardest thing one ever does, and this will allow all people to look at themselves and heal the negativity within them.
Benches in the round, to visit one's faith. Benches in the round in the central column, to visit, to think about your God, to think about the Holy Spirit, to think about yourself, to think about Love. This place celebrates the humanity within us, all of us. Religion, Faith, no claimed faith or religion, you are a beautiful human being. We are all beautiful. And love is the bond that keeps us close, that shows us we are alike, we are unique, and that is exactly why we should love each other. A celebration of life. Our lives, our individuality, our love...Rebecca Tacosa Gray
THIS CHURCH BELIEVES:
That Love is the One True Natural Religion for all people. That all people of All Faiths and All Philosophies are Beautiful. That All who walk in Love are Honor and Beauty Itself.
That all World Religions are equal, beautiful, and worthy in their goals of bringing true love and the Love of God to their believers. That all World Religions are honored for their unique perspectives, as their perspectives do lead to one common path, one common language...that of love. That all World Religions respect one another for their unique beauty. That Religious texts should be respected and cherished, they are the Faiths of those that walk beloved next to God, and in being so, are beloved.
That those who are Atheists or those who choose different paths are equally beautiful. They walk in Love by crafting their life with beauty and unique perspectives, and that is to be cherished and respected.
That the Earth, Nature, People, Animals, Everything around us is Beautiful, and should be cherished in Beauty and Love. We should cherish beauty in ourselves, as well as in others. Ego and attention to beauty are two different things.
That True God reigns beautiful, representative of all Faiths, All Religions. That True God represents the Best in All of Us: Truth, Trust, Faith, Honor, Charity, Justice, Love, & Beauty. That True God is supportive of All Faiths and all philosophies that walk in love and honor. That True God, Love, and the Holy Spirit are the moving forces that love and protect us all.
That True God, Love, and the Holy Spirit face us in love, equal in respect, cherished as we cherish, loved as we love, made beautiful as we are made beautiful.
That evil should be put down, without fail. That true heinous negativity should be distinguished from minor faults, as those faults that are small can be turned to loving behavior when one views one's life in light of Honor. That judgment in all Religions be curbed and brought down. No religion or view point is above another, and a negative action taken on behalf of one's faith is still a crime. It is one thing to have one's belief, it is quite another to take negative action against another out of that belief. God is the one who, in finality, judges one's actions and character, not man. God expects the best of us, not the worst.
That the attempt to forcibly convert others to one's philosophical position or faith is a negative act to be avoided. True God loves you for who you are, and cares that you become the best in yourself. That you love others, as well as yourself, and, try to make this world a better place, is what matters. To discuss one's Faith with another and to gently invite others to share is lovely. To share one’s believes is respect and love. To force it on another is unacceptable.
ABOVE ALL: That Beauty is All, That Truth is All, That Love is All, WITHOUT FAIL.
Love is the Only Natural Religion.
Love All as You Love Yourself.
LOVE LOVES. LOVE FIGHTS. LOVE WINS.
CONCLUSION: I'm hoping our government will look at this proposal closely and consider it. If this church were to be built, it would set a precedence for all countries, worldwide. Thank you.
