Ecclesia Gnostica
10 years ago
I'm looking seriously at the Ecclesia Gnostica parish here in Portland. I've heard good things about them and I really like the lectures their bishop in the Americas, Stephan Hoeller, gives on Gnostic topics.
For me, joining a Gnostic church wouldn't be about "being part of something bigger." As far as I'm concerned, we already are part of something bigger. For me, it's more about finding a community that shares similar views and values without feeling the need to adopt a dogmatic list of "do's" and "don'ts."
Kobi and I will stop by Sunday (Kobi's more just intellectually curious). I'll post a review here for those who are interested.
Also, relieved that posting very personal things about my journey into Gnosticism didn't end badly (yet). I'll post more, because the truth is I learned a lot about the nature of Maya (in the Hindu or Buddhist sense) over the last three years but most of that insight was tied somehow to the previous lives I remembered.
For now, here's one of my favorite lectures by Bishop Hoeller, on the Gnostic Christ:
