A Church that teaches the principles of Biocentrism and Interdependence and the laws of Ecology.
The Church of Biocentrism and Interdependence is a global entity teaching universal respect for the planet and all life within planetary eco-systems.
Biocentrism regards the human species as part of the biosphere of life inter-connected with all other living species.
The creed is Biocentrism – that humanity is a part of a system that includes all plant and animal life and that all species within this system are interdependent and essential for mutual survival which is backed by a fair monetary system.
Biocentrism holds the position that humanity is not dominant or superior over other species.
Law of Diversity
The strength of an eco-system is
dependent upon the diversity of
species within it.
Law of Interdependence
All species within an eco-system
are dependent on each other.
Law of Finite Resources
There is a limit to resources
(including a fair money system)
and carrying capacity.
About Us
The Church… promotes respect for nature and for the laws of ecology.
Supports human rights and the rights of animals, plants and eco-systems.
Promotes and encourages fair money systems such as Bitcoin — recognizing that just as natural resources are finite, so too should a just and sustainable monetary system reflect scarcity and transparency. In this way, Bitcoin aligns with the biocentrism creed, offering a tool to support ecologically positive life-styles. The Church is guided by the science of ecology.
The church adheres to a strategy of aggressive non-violence. This means direct action within the boundaries of law and practicality. The church holds a strict rule of not causing harm to animals (including human) and eco-systems.
The idea of biocentrism has been part of global indigenous thought and practices for thousands of years. In some way biocentrism can be considered the earliest form of religious philosophy. The church is also influenced by ecological philosophers and writers including Farley Mowat, John Muir, Rachel Carson, Satoshi Nakamoto and many others.
From time to time, the Church also supports and collaborates with other organizations and activist groups that share a similar ethos of ecological respect, non-violence, and interdependence, strengthening collective efforts for a more balanced world.
More recently, the Church also realizes that it must advocate for a more equitable and fair monetary system — one that, like Bitcoin, resists exploitation and centralization, and can help society live more fairly in balance with the finite resources of the Earth.
Membership in the Church of Biocentrism and Interdependence is completely independent of any anthropocentrically-oriented religious beliefs.
Established places of worship are all places under the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Teachings are to be carried out primarily through media access including social networks, with regular broadcasts and conferences.

Learn with us
The Church of Biocentrism is a United States church whose teachings place life and the living world at the centre of our moral concern. This website shares our beliefs about ecology, compassion and our responsibilities to other beings.
Biocentrism asks us to look beyond human convenience when making choices. The wellbeing of people, other animals and the places we share is connected. We encourage reflection on three ecological principles:
A living community includes many different species, each with its own place in the ecosystem. Respect for diversity means recognising the value of life beyond its usefulness to us.
A question to consider: Which native species live near you, and what helps them thrive?
No species lives entirely alone. Food, water, shelter and the conditions that sustain life depend on relationships between organisms and their environment.
A question to consider: How might an everyday choice affect a river, a coastline or the animals that depend on it?
The Earth has limits. Thoughtful use of materials, less waste and care for habitats are ways to put respect for life into practice.
A question to consider: What could you repair, reuse or use less of in your own life?
We invite you to use these questions as starting points for learning and reflection. To discuss our teachings or ask about opportunities to take part, contact the church.
