Lexington - Bluegrass Pagan Pride is an organization whose
primary purpose is the advancement of religion and elimination of prejudice
and discrimination based on religious beliefs. We intend to foster pride
in Pagan identity through education, activism, charity and community.
DEFINING THE MISSION STATEMENT
We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of Air, Fire,
Water, and Earth:
Air: Education
We're never going to be able to practice our spiritual paths openly If
we don't give the public accurate information about what we do and do
not do.
Fire: Activism
People aren't necessarily going to go out of their way to find
out what Pagans really do. We have to have the courage to act on our convictions
and do what we need to do.
Water: Charity
We know that what we do returns to us. We need to demonstrate this by
offering compassion to our communities where it is needed. When we share
our own abundance, we show that we trust the Gods to share abundance with
us in return.
Earth: Community
We're never going to be able to practice openly if we don't know anyone
else in our local Pagan communities. We need to weave networking webs
in our cities, in our towns, in our rural areas. We need these webs to
support one another. That support will also show those who would restrict
our practice that we are not just a few isolated wackos, but are a growing
congregation of people who adhere to a faith that, while different, is
as valid as their own.
