The Church of Enchantments enfolds you with love.
Those hurt will now dance, when emboldened above.
Weak works wicked shant rend, nor cold threats you shove,
assert we, while cants stream from the gold-tongued Dove.

The song of the saints rises high in the sky,
prolonged by sweet grace: by white stones their great prize.
All wrong that may taint has breathed death's darksome sigh;
And God wipes all tears from each sorrowing eye.

Our Ministries

Each parish church in our communion is called a caim, which is a Gaelic word meaning circle. This was the term that was used for the ancient Celtic churches. A cathedral is called an ardh caim, or great circle.

Our ordained members are crane clerics, seeking to minister to both Christians and Pagans.

We are currently located in eastern Iowa, California and in the Ozarks region. If you need hands-on help, let us know. But even if you are somewhere else and need help, please let us know. There's always something that can be done!
