Adoption and Adaptation

The Abrahamic canon will never advance a pantheon nor animism, earth-worship, ancestor worship or shamanism— but they are there. Their presence across our sources suggests that they have always been there, as does their preparedness to adopt these features more overtly when called upon to do so. Adaptiveness, then, is an ancestral Abrahamic value. And so, Bright Orthodoxy supports its congregants in these religious expressions wherever they align with our values and mission.

Our mission—

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER IN OBSERVATIONS OF ENDURING, CROSS-CULTURAL PRACTICES, WHERE AND AS THESE PRACTICES STILL PROMOTE HEALTH, SELF-RELIANCE, COMMUNITY RESILIENCE, TOLERANCE, AND INSIGHT. IN GENERATIVE INTEGRATION WITH EACH MEMBER’S RESPECTIVE VALUES, BELIEFS, AND TRADITIONS.
