Founded in March 2004 by Pastor Margo Ross Sears, Light & Energy Workers Association (LEWA) is a national, non-profit, multi-faith, non-denominational spiritual organization or church based in North Carolina USA, honoring 100% Freedom of Religion practices across the planet. Each Clergy celebrates any spiritual path that each is personally drawn to. No dogma here. We are non-denominational and LEWA is multi-faith: honoring any & all Paths promoting light, energy, love, healing and wisdom.
LEWA Clergy are not, nor ever been, required to study or train to be a Clergy. Also, we offer no dogma, and no attendance required after Ordination. Any lifestyle welcome and each clergy does his/her own spiritual practices self-guided or as they wish.
We believe ALL Beings are created innately sacred, and all Paths/Faiths ultimately lead to the Divine… how one gets there is your personal journey. The man-made requirements, judgments, and measures of other people, other doctrines or religious institutions are not required to be recognized as a sacred, holy Person/Being/Temple (also see the legal right to this awareness and practice for U.S. citizens in the First Amendment of U.S. Constitution and re-affirmed in California Supreme Court rulings in 1954). We accept clergy who also are ordained with other churches (double or triple ordination).

OUR CREDO:
“EVERYONE is inherently a Guardian of Spiritual Freedom, if they freely choose to be. “Historically, clergy ordinations served to separate out the ‘holy people’ from the ‘lay people’. It segregated us into 2 classes of people. Also, ordinations were also held for people who underwent years of study to insure that a particular dogma, or belief system, would be enforced. What is beautiful about what LEWA provides is a safe-space for acknowledgement that we ALL are sacred people worthy of searching, looking inside finding and defining our own Truths. That means that everyone has a right to be holy. There is no ‘us and them’…only Sacred Beings at different places in the profound journey of life.
“And so we acknowledge the personal journey that has brought each of us here to be ordained with LEWA: the tears, the questioning, the struggle, the patience, the courage to think for yourself! Thank you for taking on the spiritual responsibility of finding what inspires you. Thank you for for showing up, and reminding us all that we are powerful beings, connected to our Divine Source, capable of greatly affecting our world. Together we proclaim with our lives the truth that there is no ‘us and them’! We are ALL sacred expressions of God/Spirit/Source with the power to give Life with our words, give Hope with our smiles, and live the values of compassion and equality! And most importantly, for each of us to be Guardians of Spiritual Freedom. It is an honor to be a part of LEWA.”
