From the Bylaws of The Church of Conscious Harmony...

The Church of Conscious Harmony (CCH) exists for the sole purpose of facilitating the spiritual journey for people who want to make God-devotion the center of their lives while living in the ordinary world without the aid of monastery walls.  Our aim is to provide the focus, the teaching and the community support required for individuals to grow in self-awareness from the illusion of separate and separative existence to the fully enlightened experience of conscious union with the living God.

Our basic teaching stands on two legs:

(1) the teachings and practices of the contemplative Christian tradition, as presented by Fr. Thomas Keating and others, and (2) the teachings and practices of the esoteric Christian Fourth Way known as the Work, as presented by Maurice Nicoll, G. I. Gurdjieff and others. Though we are firmly founded on these teachings, we are not limited by them or to them.  We are free to reach deeply into all religions and spiritual traditions for insight, wisdom and inspiration; using these gifts to illumine our own religious roots and to enliven our spiritual practice.

Though we necessarily employ dogma, theology and ritual, we use these tools solely as a means of assisting individuals to attain personal experiences of God's presence and activity in their lives.  We encourage all people who worship or study at CCH to engage in intentional daily spiritual practice and study, realizing these to be absolutely essential requirements for becoming aware of and receptive to God's Transforming Grace.

We also encourage loving service to our human family, reaching out and responding to those in need with inspiration, care and transformative teaching. Ultimately, CCH is a community of individuals who acknowledge their absolute dependence on God and who simply wish to learn to receive and to express genuine love for God and humanity.
