Welcome to the Allfaith.com Blog

Hi,
I'm John of AllFaith.

I'm the owner of AllFaith.com where you will find lots religious studies from various religions, many are not what you might expect!

From time to time, I'll be posting certain of these studies and observations here. If you are interested in more, I encourage you to visit AllFaith.com
.

If you have questions of a religious nature, chances are, I have answers. Post your questions or read my previous answers at John of Allfaith's Questions and Answers

In case you're interested, I hold a Calvary Chapel (Christian) Ordination, an independent Missionary Baptist (Christian) ordination, an MA in Religious Studies from JFKU, an ordination in Ministry and Spiritual Counseling from the Interfaith Seminaries, an ordination from the Universal Life Church, and am Pastor Emeritus of Grace Inclusive Church.

To varying degrees I have worked and studied with many different groups. I attained the position of Vaisnava brahmana within the International Society for KRSNA Consciousness and within the Sri Gopinath Gaudiya Math (both members of the greater Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Vaisnava Sampradaya). I'm a former student of Swami Muktinanda's Sidha Yoga Foundation and an initiate of the Yoga Society (of Sri Ramamurti Mishra). I was initiated as a Welsh Traditionalist Pagan priest. I have been a Wahabi Sunni Muslim. I've been a Taoist and a member of various Buddhist sects, including the Dharmad Hatu of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. I've been involved with various Hindu sects from diverse traditions. I've delved into the Occult Arts and the teachings of Gurdjieff, Madame Blavatsky and others. I've worked, worshipped and studied closely with numerous Christian denominations and movements including Missionary, Primitive, Seventh day, and Southern Baptists, Roman and Eastern Orthodox. I've been one of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses, a Pentecostal, a Charismatic, Methodist and an active member of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), etc. I was a Missionary to Central America, carried a 12x6 foot wooden cross on my back from Atlanta Georgia to San Antonia Texas, and have been involved with numerous other groups and movements too numerous to mention, although more is mentioned in Mystory and my Religious Studies sections.
All this and eighty bucks will buy my next tank of gas! (Can you believe these prices! Sheesh!)
