Who We Are:

The Church of the Path® is dedicated to teaching life improvement in accordance with Spiritual Law. To all those people who are disillusioned with traditional, conventional religion, we say to them, "Rejoice!" You are closer to God than those who have tried to inculcate you in the old tradition. Open yourself to who God really is and what the meaning of your life is supposed to be. Consider the following points:

1) God wants you to be happy.

2) He is not interested in your saying pious platitudes or conforming to other little superstitions that were developed and adhered to by your religion of origin. Think about it.

Why We Are Here:

The Church of the Path®, which is now centered in Austin, Texas, celebrated its twenty-third anniversary December of 2009, having been formed in 1986 by Reverend Dr. Albert Gani and a group of like-minded friends in McAllen, Texas. The founders of this new church wanted more than misinterpreted parables, threats of hell and damnation or the platitudinal teachings of positive thinkers. They hungered for practical self-renewal, true spiritual rebirth, and a setting where they could find their own spirituality.
 

What We Do:

Self-cleansing involves the search for "the beam in thine own eye" (Matthew 7:3) before blaming others and outer circumstances for what is happening in your life. How have we created the situations in which we find ourselves involved? We must link what is within us with what is outside of us. Many thinkers have taught us this. The relationship between the perceiver and the perceived defines consciousness according to Chinese thinkers and later to Western thinkers.

We do this through prayers (three weekly services), meditations, teaching classes and lessons.
