Due to Auckland Lockdown Level this service is now live-streamed (Members Only)
The UN’s International Day of Peace began in 1982 and we celebrate this here in our Divine Service (although a few days earlier than the actual official day).
Peace will not be brought about by politics, but by ordinary people taking action – people like you who is reading this now. What kind of action? The best kind – spiritual action. No other action will work to create lasting peace. How can we create peace by bombing each other? The long road to peace in our world begins with peace in our hearts.
It is your devotion, or even better, the devotion of a country as a whole, to the spiritual path, which can bring lasting peace to yourself, to that country, and to the world.
Let us take the opportunity to come together on this day to bring peace into our own hearts and to the world, through the magic of The Twelve Blessings.
What to expect in this Divine Service
Sunday mornings are a time when our community comes together for a Divine Service. This always includes an address, sometimes a minister will give an address or we will play an address given by a minister at one of our centres overseas. We also sometimes play recorded addresses by Dr King.
After the service we relax and socialise over tea, coffee and biscuits.
Anyone is welcome to join these Sunday morning services and you don’t need to let us know in advance, you are welcome to just turn up on the day.
Our services include prayer, mantra, and short readings from the Cosmic Teachings.
Services are led by a minister wearing religious robes. Some of our congregation have been given initiations and also wear robes to reflect these.
When you arrive we will provide you with a prayer booklet so you can join in the prayers if you wish. There is no kneeling and you can participate in the prayers as much or as little as you like.
We also use mantras and mudras (hand signs) to help us to attune ourselves prior to joining together in prayer.
“First cometh the Angel, Peace — to make way for the Goddess — Love.”
– The Master Jesus, from The Twelve Blessings.
