Just before heading off for the Christmas/New Year break, and after a few email conversations with the Formation Director and a certain amount of pondering, I submitted an application to St. Raphael the Archangel Theological Seminary to enter their priesthood formation programme.What this means, is that I undertake a four year distance education programme which, all things being equal, ends with me becoming ordained as a priest in the Apostolic Johannite Church.
Yep, a Gnostic priest. Possibly not as great a surprise as all that to people that know me.
For the moment though, I am what is called colloquially among the brothers and sisters in the seminary a “Gneuby”, gleefully reading the early history of the church and trying to drag myself into writing the several essays that make up my first batch of assignments.
Not certain what else to say. Drop some questions in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer.
