KAPP Mission Statement
The mission of the KAPP is to educate the public about Paganism and other forms of Earth-based spirituality with focus on the diversity of religious expression in our community in an effort to bring about harmony amongst all spiritual paths. The main way the group does this by hosting an annual Pagan Pride Day event in the Kearney Area.
Much like Pagan Pride Project, the KAPP strives to foster pride in Pagan identity through education, activism, charity, and community. This is done by utilizing inspiration from the four elements – Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
Air: Education – providing accurate information to the public, making it clear what we do and do NOT do. We educate with the intention of being able to practice our spiritual paths openly.
Fire: Activism – being courageous to act on our convictions and proudly show our communities that we are contributing members there. We are active in showing and explaining our belief system to help end the stigma.
Water: Charity – sharing our abundance by offering compassion to our communities where it is needed. We help charities because it is a reflection of our commitment to bettering the world in which we live.
Earth: Community – strengthening the Pagan community by encouraging open communication and fellowship among those in different cities and towns, and those of different belief systems and traditions. We establish our communities because there is a need for a sense of togetherness and to show that we are a growing congregation of people who adhere to a faith that, while different, is as valid as any other.
