Establishing the name
Church Of The Creator®
from the initial conceptualization
was
without a conscious plan.
Each step along the way was prompted by prayer, asking direction of our Divine Parent, ..."what
is in the highest and best for the Whole of Creation"... with
ample opportunity for patience, non-judgment and affirmation of the prayer
Divine Right Order®
at every point, where as human beings of good intent, thoughts-things
seemed to be in need of Divine Intervention.
The name was first
published as prose 1969. Then
used as an expression of Public Ministry, registered as a Trademark by
TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation - Family Of URI, Inc. The
whole and sole/soul purpose being set forth and legally
anchored in organizing documents of the Church, Articles Of Faith,
Constitution, and
Ecclesia Magna Charta.
Officers of the Church responsible for establishing the name, registration
of the trademark or the best of script writers on the planet, could not
have conceived of such a paradoxical scenario as what has unfolded. And
undoubtedly will continue to unfold, until such time as every human being
is recognized as a Child Of God, of equal value, unique in personality
expression and treated by their fellow inhabitants on this planet
accordingly. We are destined to clean up our act, doomed to perfection
and of course that starts with each of us, individually, creating change
by example.
In this instance, for our non-profit corporation, Officers and legal team,
acting for all of us, are through litigation, further
protecting our good name and good works. Through the law seeking to hold
accountable, free
Church Of The Creator®
from the shadow of
impostors.
Filed in the Federal Court, Northern District of
Illinois in 2000, TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation-Family of URI Inc.
petitioned the Court for relief from trademark infringement by an
association of white supremacists. The rulings of the lower court have
been appealed upward, including the US Supreme Court. The case has
resulted in many unusual events.
As of
this date, the litigation is a long way from being complete. Bless the Officers,
Board Of Directors of TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation and attorneys of Kirkland
& Ellis LLP, Chicago, for the tenacity and dedication necessary to seeing
this to conclusion. The litigation has taken three years next week, from
the date of the Complaint.
Many elements of the Order on Defendant Contempt of Court, details of what
will constitute compliance with the Permanent Injunction are not contained
within recent news article and the Order, directives of the Judge have yet to
be signed, only verbally issued and of record. Hopefully that will become
part of the public record, 7 th Circuit - Northern Illinois - US
District Court under Opinions, Judge Lefkow in the near future.
Through case law, litigated to the Supreme Court of the USA, the
trademark
Church Of The Creator®
is firmly established, belonging exclusively to our parent
corporation TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation - Family of URI, Inc.
However, there are many media generated and fear/hate tracking
organizations currently posting articles with the name "Church Of The
Creator" and/or "World Church Of The Creator," with the fear and hate
based beliefs and without any statement to the public, making it clear
that such beliefs are not of our creation.
TE-TA-MA, in concert with our legal counsel is communication
with on line publishers, and other media outlets, trying eliminate the
confusion. A partial quote:
Appeal to Media Outlets - Please Do Not Perpetuate Confusion
"Anticipating media coverage surrounding the scheduled trial of white
supremacist Matthew Hale, we are appealing to the media not to perpetuate
public confusion. Mr. Hale is currently incarcerated on charges of
soliciting the murder of U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow and is
scheduled for trial in Chicago, September 2003...
....The Foundation is inclusive and encourages peace, harmony and
understanding among all people, regardless of race, color or creed. The
confusion with Mr. Hale's association is, therefore, particularly damaging.
Relative information about our organization may be found on line at
http://www.churchofthecreator.org or the actual Opinions and
Orders of the Court are posted under
Legal
Expense Fund.
It would be ironic and additionally damaging if, in reporting on Mr.
Hale's trial or describing the unincorporated association, the media were
to continue to use the very names "World Church of the Creator" or "Church
of the Creator" they have been ordered to cease using (except in a
historical sense to describe the infringement that gave rise to the
trademark suit in which the permanent injunction was issued). Mr. Hale's
associates, in partial compliance with the Court's permanent injunction,
has been calling themselves "The Creativity Movement." Accordingly, we ask
that the media use this name in referring to Mr. Hale's organization."
Thank you. Sincerely,
Revs. Drs. Grace Marama URI and James Germain URI
Ministerial Unit, Vice-president and Director
TE-TA-MA Truth Foundation - Family Of URI, Inc.
