Inner Church

As Christians pass from intellectual understanding into the realm of the experiential, they begin to feel, see and know (i.e.~ gnosis) what it is that GOD has in store for those who would surrender in devotion to His Will. With Christian Churches fragmented, divorced and many variously diluted in practice, some lacking apostolic succession and authority entirely, the persevering congregation of the faithful, must look to the path which opens the Sanctuary of the Interior. Here it is that the resurrection of the Lord YHSVH is declared on the altar of the heart. Is it any wonder that so many of our Elect Priests, have practiced the way of the Heart?

Ethiopian Orthodox Coptic Church

I've just left Most Rev. Arch Bishop Paget Mack of the African Orthodox Church in Harlem, at the Coptic Museum of the Ethiopian Orthodox Coptic Church. So, I found this video to be rather relevant.

The Christian community continues to come together. Take a look at the videos and read this blog entry from the Archbishop of the Old Roman Catholic Church of Flanders (Emeritus).

Triduum & the Roman Catholic use of incense in the USA post Vatican II

I was very happy to catch a local mainstream Roman Catholic group of Christian clergy in white albs using incense outside before the procession of the Paschal Candle (which was properly consecrated with five pins and incense) into the cathedral. I point this out only because of the low church tendencies of the Roman church in New Jersey.
