Welcome to The Divine Assembly
TDA’s one tenet is:
Each individual can commune with the Divine and receive guidance
TDA’s tenet recognizes:
Worship needs no dogma
Worship requires no intermediaries
TDA reimagines religion, breathing life into mystical traditions that encourage individuals to navigate their own journey, by discovering and developing the contours of their authentic spirituality, worship, and religion.
Top-down religiosity promotes and protects churches and diminishes the autonomy of individuals, leaving worshipers vulnerable to predation and less able to stand against it. Instead of appropriating those toxic attributes of religion, TDA regards individuals as 100% sovereign. The core TDA congregation is one person: each autonomous member. When one member invites another to gather, a larger congregation is formed. Congregations can grow, blend, disconnect, reconnect, etc., etc. TDA’s worship community evolves organically from the interconnectivity of autonomous worshipers, as members live their religion and independently connect. (Think mycelium, not org chart). TDA does not conduct, sanction, or approve events, groups, or ceremonies, including sacrament ceremonies. It can’t. TDA has no central authority. That is how autonomy works.
You are in charge of you.
Co-Founder’s Message
Basically, there are two ways to worship. Your way or someone else’s way. Most of my life, I worshiped someone else’s way, but it didn’t work for me. So, I took charge of my spiritual journey, and now my path and my gods fit me perfectly, because they are mine.
I doubt my path or my gods would work for you, though, because I’m not sure anyone’s path or gods fit anyone else, at least not perfectly. But, I think you can commune with the Divine and find your path and, with that, your peace. …
