Forward. The Church Of The Creator was founded in 1973 with the publication of NATURE'S ETERNAL RELIGION. This first book established the creed and program of our religion, CREATIVITY, and laid out its basic goals and principles. Since then two more BOOKS have been published by the Church Of The Creator, namely. The WHITE MAN'S BIBLE (1981) and SALUBRIOUS LIVING (1982). These three books we regard as the Basic Books of our movement, and the cornerstones of our religion. If nothing further were ever added, they would stand as fully completed, covering essentially every aspect of our creed, our program and our aspirations. They are to our White racial movement what the Bible is to the Christians, the Koran to the Mohammedans, and the Talmud to the Jews. However, CREATIVITY is a young and dynamic movement. It is growing not only in the numbers of its adherents, but also growing in the scope and breadth of its philosophical horizons. It has a whole world to conquer for the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race, and it is not standing still. In June of 1983 we published the first issue of our monthly periodical RACIAL LOYALTY, thereby expanding into new territories, covering new ground and reaching out to new supporters. RACIAL LOYALTY was the conveyor belt by means of which we also expanded our program, our creed and our philosophy. Every month included articles that stated clearly some fundamental positions the church took on many vital issues, and at the same time delineating goals of far reaching ramifications. These, too, have become part of our creed and program, solidifying our original base and building further thereon. We have thereby broadened the horizons of our creed and expanded the scope of our activities. This book is a compilation o/the key articles written by me and published in RACIAL LOYALTY, starting with Issue No. 1, June, 1983, and ending with Issue No. 12, July, 1984. We have put all these articles together in book form so that they may be conveyed on to future generations as a permanent part of our record, rather than leaving them as a loose and vulnerable collection of newspaper archives. Within the next 12 months we hope to publish another book that will be a compilation of the continuing articles, most of which have already been written. However, considerable growth and activities have ensued in areas other than the publication of periodicals, booklets and literature. We have moved dirt, we have built buildings, and we have expanded our physical base in many ways. For the record and for posterity, we have set forth some of the highlights of those continuing activities between 1980 and 1985. The "Chronology" immediately following picks up where the FOREWORD of The WHITE MAN'S BIBLE left off. Church Of The Creator Chronology of Events, 1980-1985 In 1980 we published The WHITE MAN'S BIBLE and in the FOREWORD of that BOOK we related a brief history of The Church Of The Creator since its founding In 1973. The following is a continuing sequence of landmark events between the publication of the 1980 book (copyrighted 1981) and this book (1985). July 20, 1980. Bought a used A M Varityper Typesetting unit to start typesetting the manuscript of The WHITE MAN'S BIBLE. October 8, 1980. Signed an agreement with Albo Printing Co. in Miami for printing and binding of the book. The WHITE MAN'S BIBLE. Made a $5000.00 down payment. February 10, 1981. Albo Printing finished printing of 20,000 copies of The WHITE MAN'S BIBLE and delivered them to our warehouse in Pompano Beach. September 4, 1981. Met with Billy Sanders, builders, and went over preliminary plans and ideas of a church building. Asked him about an architect. He recommended Jack Patton, of Franklin. September 8, 1981. Had initial meeting at the cabin with Jack Patton, the architect, to discuss design of Church building. September 11, 1981. Met with Lance Coalson of Rose Printing Co., Tallahassee, Florida and drew up a contract for printing a new book, SALUBRIOUS LIVING. The contract was signed and I made a substantial down payment. Two weeks later attorneys for Rose Printing Co. (owned by Jews) returned all of the manuscript, the contract and enclosed a refund check for the entire amount. Their objection: racial overtones in Chapter 22. This, despite the fact I had made it a point to bring this to their attention from the very beginning. October 13, 1981.
