~Blind faith is not a sure path to wisdom and spiritual growth~
~The ultimate nature of reality can and should be understood by the mind of man~
~Taking religion too seriously can lead to fanaticism and thus to spiritual blindness~

The
first mission of the Church of Icha is that of understanding the inner
workings of existence, both the physical and the supernatural. To this end, exploration and research in both Science and the Occult is encouraged. There should be no forbidden knowledge. |

The
second mission of the Church of Icha is to lead men and women of
good will towards freedom, benevolence and self-actualization, both physically and spiritually. We seek to teach the ignorant, counsel the troubled and free the oppressed. x |

Transylvania to a place of prominence in the world and to bring comfort to it's people. To this end, a monastery shall be built in the Transylvanian Alps. x |

| Our
position on Sexuality: The Church of Icha does not discriminate on the basis of sexuality and does not condemn those with alternative sexual preferences unless the expression of those proclivities result in true harm to oneself or another. We do not have celibate clergy. |

| Our
position on other faiths: We support interest in other faiths as long as they are benevolent. You may be a member of our church as well as any other that you find spiritually fulfilling. We also welcome agnostics, who are philosophical kindred spirits with us. |

| Our
position on tax exempt status: We do not support tax exempt status for churches and we have never sought to obtain it for ourselves. We feel that allowing the government the power to decide what is and what is not a religion is both unconstitutional and dangerous. Tax exempt status is not required in order to operate a church. Donations to our church are not tax deductible. |
