LIFE IS
* * *
FREEDOM
Freedom is the most important thing to everyone. Every living thing on this earth fights for its freedom - to be free to shape its own life, free to move around, free to fulfill its dreams and ambitions.

The Universal Life Church is the active advocate of freedom for everyone, as long as that freedom does not infringe on the rights of others.

FOOD
Without food there can be no freedom, only a desperate fight for survival. Thus food is one of the foundations of freedom, a key to prosperity and happiness for all mankind.

SEXUALITY
It is the third part of this "trinity", that keeps all living things going and keeps our world alive.

The Universal Life Church recognizes sexuality as a positive force in our lives. If you deny your desire for sex, then you deny life itself.

HEAVEN IS
WHEN YOU HAVE IT
HELL IS
WHEN YOU DON'T

As with most human communities, Greenwoods Village has a place to come to to contemplate the infinite and the divine. We are a diverse people and believe that power expresses itself in many and various ways; that it is proper to learn of the many ways people interpret and celebrate their spiritual natures, in hopes that you may individually find within yourselves your own spark of divinity.

Would you help a hungry person if it cost you no money and only a few moments of your time?

Greenwoods Village supports this most noble cause and encourages you to join us.

The Hunger Site is owned and operated by Tim Kunin and Greg Hesterberg, co-owners of CharityUSA.com and are dedicated in the fight to end world hunger.

The Hunger Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific humanitarian need; the eradication of world hunger. To date more that 200 million visitors have given more than 300 million cups of food.

The staple food funded by The Hunger Site is paid for by site sponsors and is distributed to those in need by Mercy Corps and America's Second Harvest. 100% of funding from sponsor banner advertising goes to our charity partners. Funds are split between these organizations and go to the aid of hungry people in over 74 countries, including those in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and North America.

You only need to go to their site and push the golden button to add one more donation to the cause. It is totally free to you. If you feel in a buying mood; check out their sponsors and help even more.

SPECIAL FEATURE
The Geography of Religion
We are proud to announce the Geography of Religion. This self contained unit is a fascinating reference to study the components of a vast array of the world's religions and beliefs. Through special permission of the creator and webmaster of the original site at Morehead State University, we are able to bring it to you and hope you take advantage of its wealth of information to further your studies of how, despite the difference in details, humanity continues to seek understanding of the Divine.

Look not at the vastness of the universe and say,
"I am so small"...
Look rather into creation and say, "I'm a part of it all"...!
Rev. Wm. Douglas Mefford, ULC

Jesus said,
"Whoever knows everything but lacks within lacks everything."
Gospel of Thomas, saying 67

"The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems."
Mohandas Gandhi

"Adopting an attitude of universal responsibility is essentially a personal matter. The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life."
His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour."
Benjamin Franklin

Free from self-will, aggressiveness, arrogance, anger and the lust to possess people or things, he is at peace with himself and others and enters into the unitive state. United with Brahman, ever joyful, beyond the reach of desire and sorrow, he has equal regard for every living creature and attains supreme devotion to me. By loving me he comes to know me truly; then he knows my glory and enters into my boundless being. All his acts are performed in my service, and through my grace he wins eternal life.
Bhagavad Gita 18:53-56

Before you speak,
it is necessary for you to listen,
for God speaks in the silence of the heart.
Mother Teresa

He who destroys but a single life
is as if he had destroyed the whole world,
He who saves but a single life
is as if he had saved the whole world.
the Talmud

Re-examine all you have been told...
Dismiss what insults your Soul.
Walt Whitman
