“Public Doctrine :
Everything in the universe is bound by energy, from the mighty power of the sun down to a tiny grain of sand on a beach. All living creatures share a connection through energy, the universal power which radiates through us all. This phenomenon has always existed, but it was in 1977 after the release of the film “Star Wars” that it was given a name, the force. Since the creation of Star Wars and its subsequent sequels and prequels, people from all over the world have adopted a belief in the force and the films protectors of the faith “The Jedi”.
It was through these beliefs that the UK Jedi church was set up. Our aim is to bring all of the world’s believers in the force together for the power of good. We will form a community that does not have bias or any type of prejudice. A community that does not reject other religions, but in fact encourages the positive teachings that other religions can bring. It is through positivity that we shall thrive, for that is the light side of the force.”
Err… no, silly geeks. It was given a name sometime between the 6th and 3rd century B.C. It was refered to as many things but mostly “The Universal Way”. It’s the main force and principle in Taoism.
