Servant Leadership
Servant Leadership means being both a servant and a leader. On the one hand, the needs of the organization and its people must be weighed and met; on the other, the dreams of the organization and its people must be seen and inspired. GTC
Our Job
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. THOMAS MERTON
WHAT IS MYTH?
Myth: a traditional story that serves to unfold the worldview of a people. -Merriam-Webster
Myth is an epic story with the purpose of conveying Universal Truth. Every culture and religion is founded upon Myth. These stories are not concerned with Fact, only Truth. While there may be some factual basis to the stories, Fact remains in the background, with Truth as the focus. The universals are on display: Good vs. Evil; Light vs. Darkness; Life vs. Death. In the western world, all cultures and religions descend from ancient Egypt. It is there that gods and rituals and eternal life had their beginnings. The civilizations of the ancient Levant borrowed freely from the ideology and theology of Egypt and then passed them on to succeeding generations. The great mythologist Joseph Campbell said, "Every person readily sees the Myth in every religion on earth, except his own." Humans are programmed to believe that the religious tradition they were born into is Factual, while all others are Fictional. All are established on Myth. And that's a good thing. Because it is not Facts we are after, but Truth to apply to our worldviews, our problems, and our hopes.

Get Inspired
The life and work of Demolay is inspiring. I encourage you to do a bit of research. And if you are a young man in your teens, check out joining the Demolay fraternity through a Masonic Lodge. -Josh M.
Seeking Light
Seeking Light is the journey, or should be, of every person on earth. We have a choice to live our lives in darkness or in light. Since we are here for such a short time, the journey must be started as soon as possible. Light is drawing us. We only need to turn our minds and hearts toward it. -Kristin C.
Finding Home
When I found Demolay Church, I knew I had found home. While many concentrate on gathering in person, for me coming here and reading and sharing ideas on faith and reality in general is refreshing. Thanks to this site, this Church, I am finding my way more clearly. -George D.
