Welcome to the CAWeb, the Official Website of the Church of All Worlds, Inc.
The Church of All Worlds (CAW) is one of the oldest incorporated Neo-Pagan churches in the United States. Among its members are people of various faiths, including the Abrahamic traditions. We are currently undergoing an "Extreme Makeover", so please excuse the mess. We're in the process of converting the site from a relatively simple web site, to one which is fully interactive, with forums, files areas and automated functions. So please bear with us. We know you'll be excited when it's all complete.

The Church of All Worlds (CAW) is one of the oldest incorporated Neo-Pagan churches in the United States, and among its members are people of various faiths including Abrahamic traditions. It has an international membership, board of directors, an ordained priesthood of women and men, a consecrated membership dedicated to the service of the church called Scions, a process of personal development of 9 circles (stages) and various subsidiary organizations and Nests. CAW promotes lifestyles that support personal freedom and responsibility, environmental stewardship, progressive and cooperative social order and pluralistic democracy.
CAW evolved from a group of friends and lovers who were in part inspired by the science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein back in 1962. This book suggested a spiritual and social way of life and was a metaphor expressing the awakening social consciousness of the times. Inspired by this awakening of consciousness and the book, Stranger in a Strange Land, this group grew, evolved, became “water-kin” and created a religious organization that was recognized as a church by the federal government of the United States on March 4th 1968. They named this religious organization the Church of All Worlds after the church founded by the hero in the book. The Church’s organizing spiritual and social concepts and values include; a belief in immanent Divinity, a pluralistic perspective towards religion, living in harmony with Nature, self-actualization, deep friendship and positive sexuality. In time the church’s spiritual and social concepts and values became recognized as Neo-Pagan. As CAW continued to develop, it both influenced and was affected by the Neo-Pagan movement.
CAW believes that the nature of our universe and planet is a manifestation of Divine being. As such the nature of human being is an expression of Divine being. In recognition of this we greet and honor one another with the phrase “ Thou art God” or “Thou art Goddess”.
