We use writings, metaphors, and iconography to depict Earth, humans, and reality as 'arks'—sacred vessels carrying profound purposes, akin to Noah’s Ark and the Ark of the Covenant. Our digital Temple on Discord is the gathering place for the Ark Orders, where they unite through collective efforts to sow Good Works into the world.

Categorization of the Temple and Arkadian Faith

• Neo-Christian

• Humanist

• We are not affiliated with any other religious institutions. We are an independent organization dedicated to community support and the physical and mental well-being of all who walk the Earth.

Temple’s Stance on Jesus

• We believe that acknowledging Jesus as the Christ or Son of God is a deeply personal and complex decision. Your stance on this matter will not affect your position within this Temple or any of its Orders. ('Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.’) (Luke 23:34)

• The Temple will remain neutral on the discussion of Jesus' divine conception (Doctrine of the Virgin Birth) and his resurrection (Doctrine of the Resurrection). Given that the Roman Catholic Church has been the primary authority on these doctrines for nearly 2,000 years, we defer to its leadership on the matter.

• His philosophies and ideas have greatly shaped the way things are done here. His views on religious freedom have helped keep millions beyond the reach of tyrannical governments and religions.

Temple’s Stance on God

• We choose not to assign a name to God, focusing instead on Good Works as our expression of divine worship and reverence. (“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”) (Matthew 25:40)

Definition of Good Works

• Good Works are intentional actions that bring light, healing, and positive transformation into the world. They are acts of compassion, integrity, wisdom, and justice that nourish individuals and communities, fostering peace and harmony.

Age Restriction

• Until the Temple and its Orders have demonstrated safe and effective operations, no one under the age of 18 may join an Order or access the digital Temple. As soon as I complete all quality checks, the Temple will be opened to all. Those will be completed by 5/8/2025.
