Writer’s Guidelines for Pantheist VisionPantheist Vision is the official journal/newsletter for the Universal Pantheist Society.
It is published as an idea interchange among Pantheists. Its purpose is to support fellowship among Pantheists and to encourage discussion and communication among Pantheists.
Topics may be wide-ranging, so long as they are related in some manner to the Pantheist world view. Viewpoints expressed in Pantheist Vision are those of the authors, and are not necessarily the position of the Universal Pantheist Society.
Every member is encouraged to write a short statement on “What Pantheism Means to Me.” Letters to the editor in response to published articles or expressing opinions are always welcome. Sketches or artwork are also solicited, but should be high-contrast for offset printing.
Factual articles, poetry, book reviews, music reviews, website reviews, or opinion pieces which deal with any of the following would be excellent material for submission to Pantheist Vision: • Philosophical works regarding the place of humankind within the Universe • Descriptions of Pantheist approaches to the way of knowledge • Ideas for celebration activities or other devotions • Expressions of ethical pursuits for Pantheists • Strategy suggestions for reducing the world-view of anthropocentrism • Personal growth and improvement in relationships with the natural world • Suggestions for reverent behavior toward the Earth • Character sketches of people living pantheistic life-styles • The relation of Pantheism to personal growth; education; diet, health, and personal fitness; the arts and sciences; social, economic, and political institutions; history; socialproblems; news events; and the Universe.
Articles on tangential subjects, or of a supernatural or superstitious flair, will not be accepted. Because many other publications treat the subject, reports on environmental issues or letter-writing requests are not suitable for Pantheist Vision. We need positive expressions of ideas and activities expressing reverent behavior toward the Earth and Pantheist philosophy. Inspiration for Pantheists is most valued.
Technical Guidelines Maximum length: 2000 words for features 750 - 1000 words preferred; 250-600 short pieces are also welcome. Short quotations from authors or literary figures are solicited for our regular “Pantheists Viewpoints” column.
Submissions: E-mail submissions in plain text with an attachment in Microsoft Word are preferred. If you submit hard copy, a self-addressed stamped return envelope should be enclosed if you wish your submission returned. Authors will receive five copies of the issue their work appears in. Additional copies can be arranged in advance if desired.
Submission of articles for Pantheist Vision gives the Universal Pantheist Society a non-exclusive license to re-publish the article on its website: www.pantheist.net.
Authors are requested to submit a short two- to four-line autobiographical sketch with their submission. Submissions should be e-mailed (preferred) to: ups@pantheist.net or if you must, mailed to: Editor,

About the Universal Pantheist Society The purposes of the Society are: "to unite Pantheists everywhere into a common fellowship, to undertake the conveyance of information about Pantheism to the interested public, to encourage discussion and communication among Pantheists, to provide mutual aid and defense of Pantheists everywhere, to stimulate a revision of social attitudes away from anthropocentrism and toward reverence for the Earth and a vision of the ultimate context for human existence, and to take appropriate action toward the protection and restoration of the Earth." Recognizing that freedom of belief is inherent in the Pantheist tradition, our bylaws prohibit any requirement for or subscription to any particular religious belief, doctrine, or creed. Persons uniting with the Society do so to further their own understanding of Pantheists attitudes, and through their fellowship with others find purposive means of expressing their faith in daily life.
