Pagan Student Association

From TyWiki

The name of this organization shall be the PAGAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (the "PSA"). The purpose of this organization shall be:

 1. To provide an easily accessible organization for Wiccan and Pagan students of Oklahoma State University for fellowship, worship, spiritual support and networking;
 2. to educate people who are not Wiccan or Pagan, when they express a fear of, or concern regarding, our religion. This will be done by opening lines of communication and dispelling false hoods about us, without proselytizing, which does not interest us; and
 3. to assist victims of religious discrimination in any way that we can. Although the Pagan Students Association is primarily a religious organization, it is not a church, and since it does not receive money from anyone other than its members, said members may reserve the right to be politically active at times, when they feel that their religious freedom has been threatened.
