It is SUGGESTED the discussion reading material is read in advance of the meeting.
The Appellatio Fraternitatis is found on the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC's website under the TEXTs tab. The Positio Fraternitatis published in 2005 is found under the same tab.
In 2014: The crisis appears to have become firmly entrenched in many countries. In Rosicrucian Prophecies published in December 2011, we wrote that we are optimistic about the future... Below the surface, the troubled times that we are crossing constitute a necessary transition, which should enable humanity to transcend itself and be reborn.
AMORC is anxious to contribute to raising awareness on the subject of ecology and published in 2012 a Plea for Spiritual Ecology, which was presented at the Brazilian senate during the Earth Summit in Rio.
The focus of the discussion will be on:
The APPEAL FOR SPIRITUALITY. It is time to move from religiosity to spirituality through the knowledge of Divine Laws. Secularism is needed, in order to preserve society from theocratic deviation. We hope that a time will come when spirituality will become normal practice and will condition civic life.
The APPEAL FOR HUMANISM. The humanist must have faith in human beings and their capacity to transcend themselves to show their better nature. For this reason one must be a humanist and have faith in oneself.
The APPEAL FOR ECOLOGY. If no short-term action is taken on a global scale to put an end to the ills that we inflict on our planet, it will become uninhabitable for billions of people, and perhaps for all humanity.
