CHURCH OF GNOSTIC LUMINISM

Membership

As mentioned above, membership in the Church of Gnostic Luminism will be defined as general agreement with the Church’s stated positions, as roughly outlined in this document. If, after reading it carefully, you find yourself to be in essential agreement with it, then you are a member already. You need only make yourself known to be recognized.

There will be no “dues,” but members will be asked to contribute what they can, however they think best, to ongoing and potential Church projects.

All decisions, at every level, will be made by unanimous consensus of all persons involved. There will be no hierarchy; every person will have an equal right to propose projects and volunteer for tasks.

Cooperative Network

The membership of the Church of Gnostic Luminism will be a cooperative network of sovereign individuals, united and focused on the common goals of attaining higher consciousness and quickening worldwide social evolution, for the mutual benefit of all sentient beings.

Public Acknowledgment

Members will be invited to affirm their dedication to the pursuit of personal and social Illumination (Revelation and Revolution), ceremonially, in the presence of other members and invited guests.

Members who are qualified, or who accept training, may volunteer to fulfill specific tasks for the Church, including the following positions:

  Priest / Priestess: will prepare and organize ecclesiastical functions, including rituals and ceremonies; and may provide counseling and the healing arts.
