The sacred lawsThe vision
A lasting home for worship and learning
Keith Lawrence Miller is developing Santeria Church of Olodumare as a community centered on devotion, education, and responsible religious life. The first stage will establish the administration and dedicated devotional space in his home.
The long-term goal is to acquire and restore a historic Catholic or Protestant church, ideally dating from the 1800s, as a permanent sanctuary with altars, statues, ceremonies, education, and community gatherings.
The name and Constitution are proposed. Formation, legal appointments, and adoption remain in preparation.
