Q4. Are you affiliated with any religion or religious organization?
A. ACIMI uses the teachings of Jesus in both the New Testament and
A Course In Miracles in the fulfillment of our mission statement. We recognize
that God, and Jesus' message of personal, individual transformation is
universal and does not belong to any one religion.
Our
focus is on your personal experience of God through mind transformation
irrespective of any doctrine. That with no regard to race, color, religion,
gender, or national origin, there is, has been, and will always be, in
our species an innate, inborn faculty of expanding self-realization and
understanding of our entire purpose for existence, derived through and
by acts of forgiveness and love.
We
have come to know that "A universal theology is impossible, but a
universal experience is not only possible but necessary."
ACIMI does have affiliations, from time to time, with individuals, groups
and religious organizations who share our mission and purpose.
Through
the Miracles Prisoner Ministry we have a friendly association with The
New Christian Church to enable us to bring our spiritual program of recovery
and transformation into the prison system. The New Christian Church does
not consider themselves to be a denomination nor are they concerned about
theological doctrines or any worldly religion. For
details on their beliefs please click here.
