Does anyone have any experience with a Metaphysical Church?

I started in metaphysics; I was a member of Mile Hi Church of Religious Science (Science of Mind), in Lakewood, Colorado, throughout the 1970s. I wanted to become a minister, but my little voice told me to stop during my practitioner studies (a practitioner is one licensed by the church to practice spiritual mind healing (affirmative prayer) for others.
I graduated so to speak from Religious Science, but still practice the basics of metaphysics, as all teaching ultimately stems from it. There is one teaching, and all teachings teach it.
Metaphysical churches or groups mostly fall under the heading of New Thought...the basic teaching is that there is one life (God, or whatever word one chooses), that life is perfect, that life is my life, (our life) now. That life is all-in-all, in and through and as everything that is real, and nothing that is not real. At first, this might seem cocky, or even arrogant, but when understood, these principles open up doors to one's sense of what true humility is...the reverence, the awe, of realizing we are one, and we are part of infinite life and love and peace.

Actually, I attend a meetup at a metaphysical church - and they believe more like the hindus - that there are several lives - and we know there are from our experiences.

A church that both exists and doesn't exist.
