Maundate Solemne
Solemn Mandate of the Communion of Apostolic Gnostic Ecclesias of North America

The Ecclesia Gnostica Apostolica (EGA) – variously known as l'Église du Paraclète in origin, l'Église Gnostique, l'Église Gnostique Catholique de France, l'Église Gnostique Universelle, and l'Église Gnostique Catholique Apostolique – and Her Concordat Allied Churches... exist as a Beacon to the Sparks of Light dispersed upon the dark primordial waters of the Kenoma.

I.  The Ecclesia was established initially in France, by four joint assemblies of Gnostic remnant [1] as a sanctuary of refuge for those Initiates of the Ancient Wisdom Tradition desiring the sacraments of the Light of Christ Sother Logos denied them by the Latin and other Churches. Therefore the Ecclesia and its Concordats confer these sacraments to all.

II.  The Ecclesia and Her Concordats (Allied Churches) continuously maintain a sacramental ministry in the direct tradition of the Apostles, especially Saint John and Saint Mark, also known as 'John-Mark', conservatuer of the apostolic initiatic tradition [2], as well as other ancient Gnostic teachers.

III.  The Ecclesia and Her Concordats guard their Apostolic Sanctuaries closely, and their Ministries are overseen by the Episcopate and Hierophanie, Perfecti who unveil to us the WAY TO PERFECTION and are called Tau's and Sophia’s (the masculine and feminine titles of Bishops), with Apostolic Sees in nations around the globe.

IV.  These Perfecti collectively oversee their sanctuaries with the aid of the Sacred Atheneum of Metropolitans, also known as the College of the Metropolitans of the Gnosis Apostolic Ecclesia, which is equal to the Patriarchate in the vacancy of that Office.
​
V.  The Ecclesia and Her Concordats and Institutions in this new Millennium, being graced by the Pneuma Hagion with the recovery of the Holy Gnostic Scriptures, recognizes Her obligation to preserve, teach and manifest the ancient writings to all of humanity who have an ear to hear and a heart to understand.

To the complete and faithful observance of the mandate, the Ecclesia and Her Holy Concordats are committed that we may inevitably return the ships of Light to the Eternally Bright and Joyous shores of the Pleroma and thus restoring the Treasury of Light at the Consummations of the Aeons. Amen, A.M.D.G., So Mote It Be!
