Ecclesia Gnostica - Worship and Spiritual Practice

Worship and Spiritual Practice

Ecclesia Gnostica services consist of different liturgical celebrations usually based on traditional Western forms of Christian liturgy. Like ancient Gnostic groups, the Ecclesia Gnostica blends several disparate traditions. The church performs its sacraments "in accordance with the tradition of the Ancient Mystery Schools" and attempts to present them "in their original meaning as archetypal acts of ceremonial communion with the timeless realities of the soul."

Famous quotes containing the words worship, spiritual and/or practice:

    You who were directionless, and thought it would solve everything if you found one,
    What do you make of this? Just because a thing is immortal
    Is that any reason to worship it? Death, after all, is immortal.
    But you have gone into your houses and shut the doors, meaning
    There can be no further discussion.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Happy is that mother whose ability to help her children continues on from babyhood and manhood into maturity. Blessed is the son who need not leave his mother at the threshold of the world’s activities, but may always and everywhere have her blessing and her help. Thrice blessed are the son and the mother between whom there exists an association not only physical and affectional, but spiritual and intellectual, and broad and wise as is the scope of each being.
    Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)

    I am out of practice at living.
    You are as brave as a motorcycle.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
