In our Service, we say, “Money is not out there in the numbers; it’s in here with you and me.” While this may seem obvious —after all, currency emerged from human civilization —in everyday life, money takes on the power of an Old God. It can grant wishes and fulfil desires, or it can starve us and take away our homes.

There is a singular, collective prescription for how we must engage with money: to gain its favour, we are told to be prudent and make ‘hard choices.’ The moral path of money is one of moderated asceticism.

Yet, as individuals, we are irresistibly drawn in the opposite direction: toward generosity, lavish expenditure, gambling —any way of being with money that reclaims our sovereignty and declares, “Today, I shall not serve this God.”

Church of Burn stands poised between these two poles. What grounds us is the understanding that humankind's relationship with money is not merely conceptual; it is embodied. The human experience of money has a somatic underpinning.

We believe that our economic cosmology—and the politics of money—cannot be fully reimagined until this truth is acknowledged.
