WALKING SPIRITUALLY WITH PRAGMATIC FEET
James Mooney’s Spirituality
Along with walking the Native American path of spirituality, James considers himself a Christian and one who believes the Book of Mormon is a true description of the historical evolution of Christianity in the Americas.
James is the first Prior of The Priory of the Indigenous People, under the Grand Priory of the United States of America of the Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. When James was invested as Prior, the Supreme Grand Priory of the Order also issued a bill wherein it stated that ‘The Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem will do its level best, both in the national US jurisdiction and also in the international forum, to promote and assist the plight and efforts of the modern day indigenous Native Americans in their long struggle to secure the rights and conditions which were forfeited throughout the years.’
