We give each other permission to wander. We live big and dream big. We see the extraordinary in the ordinary. We believe that the clarity and spiritual growth we seek may not be convenient, but may be in a city far away, out our back door, in the mountains, or a beach across many oceans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1451950280864-GF5J8XITRA9YE5II8PTI/image-asset.png The Open Road COMMUNITY. We value being a part of something bigger than ourselves. We are born into a family but choose and collect more members of our tribe along the way. We honor community, nature, and a world of infinite possibility. We can all make a difference and are generous without expectation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1451950380180-GHM3ABGVD6GQWUXS70EN/image-asset.png The Open Road FREEDOM. We believe in religious freedom and freedom of spirit. Our place of worship is a deeply personal choice. Where and when we worship may vary. How we choose to define our God, our higher power, and our spiritualism is our choice. We need not justify our beliefs to any one. Our devotion is not measured by the number of times we sit in a defined physical location, but rather, how often we express gratitude to our God, the Universe, our community, our surroundings and those we love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452098621412-E4QNDVFLA47XQOQR60KZ/image-asset.png The Open Road   CHOICE. We believe that life is a series of choices, that we make our own luck. We are bold. Believing in ourselves and a greater power results in clear blue skies and open roads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452115502645-KAOAXQDWW6X48964V1F1/ComittmentSquare.png The Open Road   COMMITMENT. We trust without wavering. We keep our word. We promise without forgetting. We show our faith and commitment through how we carry ourselves and what we do on a daily basis. Actions speak louder than words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452099135856-03V5LI3IV3PN041NKVLV/image-asset.png The Open Road   CHANGE. We embrace change. We are flexible and resilient. Every day is an opportunity to be and do better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452100518337-KN8C8RK0Z557SR8ANNKW/image-asset.png The Open Road   CHALLENGE. We embrace challenges. The hard way is difficult; we have the courage to take it anyway. We accept failure with the faith that we are better for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452115619523-9LNTQ82MZKQHSTFTS8Y0/image-asset.jpeg The Open Road   COLLABORATION. We are collaborative, not comparative. We are inclusive. We welcome all those of differing faiths, genders, race, socioeconomic status, sexual identity or nationality. We celebrate our differences and welcome the opportunity to learn from one another. We are compassionate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452101962295-DAH6G2YBCNS8LJBP42YE/consciencesssquare.png The Open Road   CONSCIOUSNESS. We are stewards of our resources. We are thoughtful, we tread lightly. We practice empathy and appreciate our surroundings. We embrace the present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452110002416-F9GIC3C7ZZ976DBD89UB/image-asset.png The Open Road   COMPASSION. We forgive without punishing and look to the future while still honoring our past. We build a bright future through helping others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452099566214-1HRKECRQ5FUSFH842LZ6/image-asset.png The Open Road   CURIOSITY. We encourage listening with the intent to learn. We believe that growth comes to us in many ways: formal education, travel, art, music, books, recreation and each other. We stretch beyond our comfort zones and say yes more often. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1452099744385-NOT22KEMRGMASSKHWLCQ/image-asset.png The Open Road   CELEBRATION. We are grateful. We are positive without reservation. We bring a smile and a light heart to all that we do, regardless of the circumstances. We remember to play. We laugh at ourselves and with others. https://www.churchoftheopenroad.org/council daily 0.75 2016-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568ab82d9cadb68804b3c971/1454783539203-HYINZUI4CR2Z9A2NPLWG/image-asset.png Council Of Nine -

ordained through The Church of the Open Road allowed me to learn more about the church, and in turn, why this church was important to the couple I was going to marry. The broad foundations of the church, things like discovery and curiosity, consciousness and compassion, thinking about family to include the one we are born into as well as the people we choose, those things really resonated with me and they really fit with what I knew about this couple. I started getting really excited during the ordination process and any anxiety I had about the day was beginning to fade.
