Have you ever read “Stranger in a Strange Land” and wondered what it would be like to join Valentine Michael Smith’s “Church of All Worlds”?
Guess what I just found out. You can!
Sort of.
It’s real, it’s legally incorporated, recognized by the IRS and the government at all levels – and even has a cyber coffee house in Yahoo Groups!
Now, if Valentine Smith were just leading the lessons, so I could get the real deal on how he does all those things. Oh, that’s right, first you have to learn to think in Martian . . . (*grin*)

One of my favorite articles at the CAW website is by Oberon Zell: http://www.caw.org/articles/otherpeople.html
