The above is wrong in a lot of ways. +Graham
hasn't been a Vicar General for 3 years, and many other things, as they did
not stick to the press release we sent them. So here is a copy of the
original version: The Church of St Mary &
St John
A Celtic/Gnostic Jurisdiction in the United Kingdom & Ireland.
"Let's bring joy back
into religion."
PRESS RELEASE:
Chorley, Lancashire - 6th May 2012 - On Sunday newly consecrated Bishop
Graham Suddick asked of religious leaders worldwide, "Let's bring joy back
into religion."
Consecrated by Tau Tia L Douglass, (Tau is the Gnostic spiritual title
equivalent to Bishop) Presiding Archbishop of The Church of St Mary & St
John, an independent Celtic Gnostic Church, part of a growing movement of
Gnostic Theolalites that claims an alternative form of Spirituality free of
either State or Papal control.
"It is time for change, it is time for Balance and Harmony," Tau Douglass
said at the Ceremony. "Helping others find inner Peace and Happiness is the
most wonderful gift you can give to another," she continued. "Today's
Religion needs an open and friendly face, to become a place where people are
accepted for themselves no matter what their Sexuality, Race, Colour, Creed,
Status, or Gender." Consecrated as the Titular Bishop of Llangollen & Abbot
of Killerig, Tau Suddick is only the second Bishop to be Consecrated in a
completely Balanced Ceremony, the first being Tau Douglass herself. The
Ceremony was officiated by both Male and Female Clergy, with the Altar
divided into a Male and a Female side. "As more Men and Women become aware
of the energies of the New Aeon," Tau Suddick declared, "those who are more
Enlightened Spiritual beings will find the old ways abhorrent. They may no
longer feel comfortable in the Old Patriarchal Religions and Traditions."
The Balanced Ceremony used in his
Consecration was originally created by Bishop Johanas van Alphen, former
Presiding Bishop of the Liberal Catholic Church. According to Tau Suddick,
it has been revised by Tau Douglass "to be more fitting for the New Aeon we
are moving into." Tau Suddick continued, "The Old Patriarchal Religions have
no future in the New Aeon, which is to create Balance and Harmony. They
should either accept Female energy as equal and complementary or they will
naturally lose support." In his Consecration Ceremony Tau Suddick gained
valid Catholic Orders from the Old Catholic Succession and at least five
other valid lines. His Lineages range from Liberal Catholic to Old Catholic,
Brazilian Catholic through Orthodoxy to Gnostic and Templar.
He is also the Episcopal Vicar General of The Church of St. Mary & St. John,
a Celtic/Gnostic Jurisdiction in the UK and Ireland. For more information
