2023.09.24 Pagan Pride Day
Once again Chosen Path Church was a proud Sponsor for Pagan Pride Day. We have sponsored PPD annually since our inception in 2014. In addition to our booth, our High Priest presented a workshop on dousing, one of our Board Members performed his original folk music on stage, we were blessed to be invited to present the opening ritual, and many of our members volunteered for the event itself in addition to spending time at our booth. We also took roles in the closing ritual presented by Olympic House of Venus-Hathor (E.O.C.T.O), whose leadership also belong to Chosen Path Church. Our booth offered a wide variety of hand crafted items along with herbal bundles. We shared information through our brochure and chatted with so many lovely people!

Signing of the By-Laws of the North East Florida Pagan Leadership Coalition: May 7, 2017
It has been my honor to work side by side with all of these wonderful North East Florida Pagan Leaders as a coalition.

Our goals are simply to provide or broaden education, communication, acceptance, consistency, leadership and support to the area's Pagan and broader mundane communities. This photo is just after we signed our official By-Laws as an organization. The pens we are holding were individually made for us by the Officers of NEFLPLC, which is a testament to the care and dedication by them to each of us in the coalition.

Chosen Path Church does not allow discrimination against any persons for any reason. We are working along with other Faith Leaders in the Jacksonville community to encourage the City Council to expand the current Human Rights Ordinance to include our LGTB citizens which would prohibit discrimination regarding employment, housing and public accommodations. I have attended Faith Leader dinners and panel discussions, all of Mayor Curry's Community Conversations and several of the City Council meetings regarding this topic. Here are some of our efforts documented.
