-
The Gnostique Church is ONE: Her doctrine is unique. She adapts
herself through various epochs, but the basis of all those adaptations
is absolutely the same.
- The Gnostic Church is Holy: Her moral is the pure evangelical moral
which alone is capable of making Saints.
- The Gnostic Church is Apostolic: She recognizes the Apostle John as
her leader of origin.
- The Gnostic Church is Universal: She is intimately linked to the Primordial
Tradition of which She is an adaptation; one could say that She has
always existed across the face of the earth.
Long referred to as the "church of the initiates,"
the Gnostic Church both serves and is was reinstituted
for members of initiatory societies who may have been
persecuted by the hylic orientation of the world, particularly
in the mainstream churches.
The ancient church of the apostles and their direct heirs, the gnostic schools and churches of antiquity, the medieval Cathars and Bogomils, and most recently the gnostic and theosophical renaissance beginning in 19th century France are all part of the history of our Church.
Always a Church, the sacraments and rituals that bring us together as part of the one Church of God and being the basis of the existence of any church are also maintained within our community.
Ours is one replete with Tradition, and more specifically, the French Gnostic Tradition.
We maintain a direct succession from the Apostles as part of both our history and tradition, and have valid, documented apostolic succession in addition to our more spiritual ones.
The Church is open to all. We do not discriminate at our altars, and all may receive communion and participate as they are called.
