Summary of the Bylaws of the Church of
The Order of the Blue Star
The Order of the Blue Star (O.B.S.) is a nonprofit, nondenominational, traveling ministry, incorporated in 1990 pursuant to Article 10 of the religious Corporations law in New York as a congregational form of Government. O.B.S. provides spiritual healing, teaching, and community service. The healing ministry includes, but is not restricted to, the use of tuning forks, hands on and around the body, any form of body-work, and the application of crystals, gems, minerals, essential oils, and Bach flower essences, as deemed constructive for the Spiritual healing process. The purpose of Spiritual healing is to enhance the innate divine intelligence that is inherent and ever-present within all life. All healing, counseling, and teaching from ministers in good standing with O.B.S. are considered acts of divine intervention or providence, and should never be thought of or substituted for advice from a licensed medical professional.
Ordained ministers of the church never diagnose or prescribe in any manner. Nor do any of the ordained ministers of O.B.S. treat or recommend treatments for any disease, condition, situation, or concern. Such matters should be directed to licensed professionals in their fields.
All funds given to ministers of O.B.S. are considered charitable donations, are tax deductible, and therefore are not mandatory to receive services. Charles Christopher Tims is the founding and officiating minister of O.B.S., and has sole authority to train and ordain those wishing to enter and complete the O.B.S. ministerial program. O.B.S. also acts as The Eternal Teachings Foundation, a registered nonprofit in Florida.
As O.B.S. is a traveling ministry with no brick-and-mortar mother church as its base, a church is established wherever an ordained minister in good standing of O.B.S. serves as directed and endorsed by Charles Christopher Tims (founder). This includes but is not restricted to rented space at public events (expos, hotels, retreat centers, etc.). Therefore the temporary space (tabernacle) is endowed with all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities as established in the articles of incorporation and the church’s bylaws. These rights are enshrined to all ministers of O.B.S. and guaranteed by the 1st and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
