Praise for Integral Church: An Interfaith Handbook of Ceremonies and Rituals

“A pioneering document. It will go down in history as perhaps one of the first statements of this form of evolutionary spirituality. Joran is an excellent scholar and minister. The handbook is very well done and should be a manual for all of us.”

– Barbara Marx Hubbard, Foundation for Conscious Evolution

“Joran Slane Oppelt’s Integral Church: A Handbook for New Spiritual Communities is one of the most important books regarding spirituality yet written in the 21st-century. Co-authored with other members of an emergent spiritual community, it is one of the first books to suggest a new coherent social structure for harnessing the power of spiritual evolution. Given the complexity and severity of the challenges faced by all species in an interconnected globe … it is truly a worthwhile pioneering effort at creating communities of faith and dialogue that can be a part of an emergent Global-Mind.”

– Joe Perez, author Soulfully Gay

“The creation of the Order of the Sacred Earth is a magnificent step forward for humanity. What we need now are sacred activists willing to come together and live conscious sacred lives to preserve the earth and humanity. I am honored to celebrate and join this great adventure.” – Andrew Harvey
