 The history of the Eglise Gnostique can be quite complicated, 
                      and much of what is presented elsewhere is not correct. 
                     
                    Ours is a community that traces its roots 
                      from antiquity and the development of the ancient Church, 
                      through many ages. Of particular note are the early gnostic 
                      movements within the first three centuries C.E., the medieval 
                      12th and 13th centuries, and most recently the Gnostic and 
                      Theosophic revivals of late 19th century European extraction. 
                     
                    Consequently, we have divided the history 
                      of our Church into four sections, for easier (relatively) 
                      digestion of such a long transmission. The links at the 
                      bottom of this pate or via the menus at the left will guide 
                      you along the way.
