What Protection does Entheo Community Offer Me?

We founded Entheo Community to help give you peace of mind knowing you are safe in your practice with sacrament. Here are some specific ways we create safety and protection for our members:



Organizational structure



Entheo Community is an unincorporated faith-based organization: we do not report or defer to any government body. By remaining separate from the government instead of incorporating, we ensure that our liberties as Free Children of Creation remain fully protected.



The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 sets the additional burden that if the government wishes to interfere in any person’s exercise of religion, that they must prove (1) compelling interest and (2) least restrictive means. This is extremely hard for them to do when we are practicing responsibility and in integrity.



The more clearly we are a church, the more likely our freedoms will be protected. The IRS has defined the term Church for tax purposes (most of which we satisfy), but they cannot define religious exercise. 



Education



In our ordination trainings we teach rules & best practices that ensure everyone’s risk is minimized. This includes physical, psychological and legal risk to self or others. These trainings are informed by community wisdom, ethical standard, case law, and our savvy legal advisors. 



Entheo Community pledges to vouch in defense of any member who is practicing in alignment with our best practices. 



Privacy



Our member list is private, even to other members if you have selected not to be listed. The government does not have rights to look into our data without compelling reason, which is far more difficult to obtain than even a warrant or a subpoena. 



Numbers



The more our membership grows, the more our numbers will speak for themselves. A large organization has great power, and we are growing every day, with your help.



Confidence



The biggest protection of all is the confidence and peace of mind you gain from what we offer. Confidence is the same as trust, which is the same as faith. This is ultimately a faith practice, and the more you cultivate faith, the more you will naturally be protected.
