Structure

The church is guided by three figures who together form the Triad. Together they share insights into universal awareness and the contradictory and often absurd behavior of  some of this reality's inhabitants.  The members of the church  make up the ranks of the Exempt.  The Immune are members of the Church who have applied to become legally ordained ministers of the Church.  Together the Exempt and the Immune make up the landscape of the church and relate to the Church as a common  communication channel for individuals who eschew traditional organized religion but are aware of  life mysteries that cannot be accounted for by  simple materialist explanations. The Church also embraces the power of satire and does not subscribe to the sanctimonious distortion inherent in many religions which divides the reverent from the irreverent.  

 

Beliefs

We are a confederacy of people who believe in very open and expanded ideas.  We embrace all belief systems, east, west, north and south... as they try to understand and interpret the lessons to be learned from this form of existence.  We see the similarities rather than the differences between them. 

We are however amazed at some of the harmful dogma which has solidified around many belief systems and find a general sense of exaggerated self importance attached to their efforts.   Our unique construct of ideas are expressed in The Greater and Lesser Tenets, and are based on a synthesis of universal concepts and  life experiences. They carry the formative, contradictory, tension of the life force  and acknowledge  the cosmic joke inherent to this system. 

History

The Church of the Future was founded in Atlanta Georgia in 1978 by C. B. Mills who  then enlisted the insights  of G. W. Kennedy and M. H. Morris to help define and guide the church's course.  While traditional ceremonies and meetings are not part of its structure, special events have been staged over the years such as the Crestview Wrecking Ball, The Elvis Piano Demolition and The Dynamite Workshops.  

Information was formerly shared through the Dialator, a Church of the Future publication. Now after some 20 odd years,  the organization has embarked on an expansion of  its presence with electronic communication.

The Church of the Future is a unique non-denominational entity and is not affiliated with any other organization or group.  

The Future

"I see the Church growing into a gross, megalithic organized efficient and highly sensory mobile society, creating a domination sphere of influence, on a galaxy wide scale".

W. H. Morris

 

Members

The Exempt

The Exempt are made up of members from many different states. They are people who find resonance with the Church's broad based beliefs...beliefs which seek to explore the core mysteries of existence beyond simple materialistic or nihilistic interpretations...beliefs which offer  resistance to the rigid, limited and many times self important dogmas of organized religions.  

Anyone is welcome to associate themselves with the ranks of Exempt and no one is expected to adhere to any particular belief or system.  What you do or do not subscribe to is up to you and can be constructed from an array of sources. 

Membership is free.   If you would like to become a member simply go to the Membership page, fill out the form and submit the information to the church.  In this era of family values, think of the advantages of deflecting welcome wagons and prying neighbors with this ready response ... .. "I'm not a member of any organized religion, I belong to the Church of the Future". 

The Immune

Church members may also apply to become one of the Immune.  This level of participation in the Church confers the status of ordained minister and entitles those given Immunity to perform legal wedding ceremonies as well as other officiating functions enjoyed by any other member.   Immunity comes at a price, but along with an official ordainment certificate, new candidates receive the full immunity package including the Church's exclusive black clerical shirt, stickers, lapel identification and "Lie about supplies"
