PAN - magazine of the World Pantheist Movement

Since 1999 we have been a pioneering voice in exploring how a completely naturalistic spirituality can address the kind of profound questions for which people normally seek answers in traditional religions - but in our case, without recourse to supernatural beings, forces and realms.

We have been gradually addressing many of the key individual, social and environmental issues where Pantheism has a distinctive position that can be of help.

Social and environmental issues so far have been nature conservation, sustainable lifestyles, dark skies, teaching of evolution, gay marriage, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state. Individual issues we have addressed include connecting with nature, pantheist ethics, pantheist therapy, pantheist art, ways of expressing our spirituality, meditation, natural death, and coping with crisis or disaster. Every issue includes surveys, personal essays and outstanding messages from our mailing lists on the major theme inspiring personal statements about Pantheism, which people write when joining the WPM almanac of upcoming solar and lunar events and special dates news about the World Pantheist Movement. Here you can read some of our issues as a guide to what we are about, what we think and do and care about. If you like what you see, please consider joining the World Pantheist Movement as a supporting member. Members have access to the full PAN archives. Issues are presented in reverse order, and require Adobe Reader for PDF's.
