Who We Are
​
BVC is a religious organization that respects, values, and draws upon the ethical religious, mystical, and spiritual arts and wisdom of any and all of Earth’s peoples, developed or practiced at any point throughout mankind’s existence. Our members successfully exercise their rights to religious freedom and the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness, as they pertain to Sacraments.
​
We do not believe it is right for people who want to pluck a plant or mushroom from the ground to be required by their government to proclaim or prove what they are about to do is their religion, or that they are a member of a religious organization. We believe that everybody has the right to utilize Sacraments in any way, shape, or form so long as it is responsible and not done in such a way that results in undue harm to themselves or others. However, we do believe that because of the sacred nature of these Sacraments that it is better, for the time being, that they reemerge into the world through organizations, or people that emphasize the spiritual and scientifically proven benefits and present and conduct their work in ways that honor the sacredness of the Sacraments.
Omnism, founded in England, is the recognition and respect of all religions; those who hold this belief are called Omnists. Omnism affirms the necessity of one arriving at an understanding of reality based on personal experience, engagement, and inquiry. While many BVC members consider themselves Omnists, many of our members identify, solely, as Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, etc., and many members choose to not place any title on their beliefs or disbeliefs.
