WORSHIP
The Church of Deep Ecology teaches
that spiritual worship is personal, and that we should make our worship in our everyday
lives. Rather than separate ourselves from our daily lives for an hour a week, we
strive to act daily based upon the Eight Guiding Principles of Deep Ecology.
MARRIAGE

The
Church of Deep Ecology does not believe that individuals need to have their various
relationships validated by any church. We will, however, perform marriage ceremony
as dictated by state and federal authorities so that people can have their relationships
recognized by the government.
DEATH RITES
The highest
and best end is that our death is of value to the Earth and its inhabitants. Only
when we are part of the cycle of life in death, is the cycle complete and we are
of some final use to the living Earth. To this end, the Church of Deep Ecology recognizes
proper death rites as ones that will return one's matter to the cycle in a natural
way, as is the case with all other animals.
