Please STOP NOW and STUDY the SASS Mission Statement and Ethos. Kindly note that we have a rational, science-based worldview. That supports Humanism, freethought, "Brights", non-religion, atheism and agnosticism.
SASS will NOT accept you as a Marriage Officer if you promote belief in the supernatural. This includes a god (or gods), devils, angels, fairies, tokoloshe, witchcraft, astrology, psychics, homoeopathy, Creationism, crystal healing, and similar non-science.
If you practice any religion, please do not waste your time and ours by applying. Please return when you have taken reason and reality as your guide, and abandoned superstition. Thank you for your interest!
