This is a discussion and networking list for people interested in Greek, Roman, and Italian-American Paganism. The Religio Terranova is classical religion for the New World. Any and all groups that honor the Greek or Roman pantheons, but are *not reconstructionists* (in other words, not trying to reconstruct an ancient religion), fall under the umbrella of the Religio Terranova, and we welcome you here. We respect that each of us has our own perspective and approach to how we worship divinity. What is important is that we have taken what remains of the ancient ways and applied it to the modern day to fit a modern lifestyle in a land that does not support a Mediterranean environment. We are not set to perserve that religion as it was, but to take what it was and *adapt* it to fit into our culture today. All things grow and change, even religion. To stagnate is to die or worse yet become an anachronism.
