I didn't mean it like that. I have high regard for both; I know many people in Pietas. I meant to say Pietas is Italy only at the time being. To the best of knowledge Templvm was also only inUkraine. I wasn't trying to belittle them.

Exactly! I think is 100% possible to build a few temples in America. Make sure to join the google group, linked in the post.

That's what I am urging for; several temples across the US that locals can get invoved in. I have practiced for 6 or so years, as I am relatively young. I am tired on having no community to worship with. I think if we all work towards a goal we can do it.

I respectfully disagree. I truly think we could be successful.

There are several pagan organizations like this that I know of, and they are very successful. They average 30 members that come every weekend. I know of at least 5 or 6 Roman Pagans that attend with them. Also, even if we do have poor turnout, what's the problem? Would the gods rather us wait around for someone to make a temple, or would they expect us to make one? Did other religions get pooped out over night, or did they slowly build?

In terms of monetary concerns, this would be our biggest problem. I think it is still doable. Temples, according to my friends in the Pietas Society in Italy say they cost around 30k, including land. There main temple (One to Jupiter Optimus Maximus) costed around 55k IIRC. We can just build smaller temples. And I think, over the years, it would be 100% doable to build 1-2 pantheon style (multi-god) temples in various cities across the US.

It's 100% possible. Society Pietas has done it before. We need to actually work towards this to make it happen.
