For Your Reading & Learning.

This link below will take you to documents & pieces of information that you may be interested in reading.   Amongst these documents you will find the Australian Church of Antioch's weekly Collect, Epistle & Gospel.  Along with Bible facts, Esoteric information, different traditions, & general Information.  Not all of what is here will be to your "liking", but I am sure there will be something there that shall interest you. Only way to find out is to look, and you should read with an open mind as to the "possibilities" of some of the things I may say being true.

It would be nice to wake up each day to only Good News as it says in this song, but as most of us know that just doesn't happen.  Each day in the news, always something bad. It is only us as people and human beings that can change some of this bad news by trying to change ourselves to be better people.  To be more tolerant of others, more tolerant of the difference between us, whether that be race, colour, religion, sexuality, beliefs, more accepting of those who are different to us. This change by each and every one of us, can help remove hatred from the world. What an achievement that would be for the human race.  Peace & Blessings

To help as you navigate around my website I have included "PAGE EMPTY" on those pages that have no information on them.  The site will forever be a work in progress and by leaving those pages up with nothing on them you will be able to see some of the stuff that will be posted eventually. 


The Science of the Sacraments by Charles W Leadbeater

The Australian Church of Antioch closely follow much of Leadbeater's work. It appears that Leadbeater was not pro female ordination, the reason for this was that Leadbeater tried to ordain women priests, but with his clairvoyant sight he could see it did not work. 
​
If you see the comments on the relevant pages of our copy of the book you will see why he made this mistake. 

There are comments on Pages 20,41,42,78 & 237 by Archbishop Frank Bugge, Presiding Archbishop of the Australian Church of Antioch, explaining the differences between the male & female energy flows, how the censing sequence should be changed, and the Pectoral Cross worn by a Bishop. 

In the latest versions of this book, I understand that the information about the robes etc has been omitted as not necessary.  We believe this information is imperative for the understanding of, & therefore working with, not against, the correct energy flows during a Eucharist. 

The reason that Leadbeater came to Australia was because he knew the female lines would be restored to the Christian Church in this country.  Leadbeater did say that they would be restored soon, and indeed they were.  He could not find them, but Archbishop Herman Spruit did, and bestowed those lines to the Australian Church of Antioch.

Happy reading to those who are interested.  Click here to go to the pdf file

If you are, put your feet up, grab a cuppa, open your mind, you in for a long read. 

Blessings.

PictureAbp Meri Louise Spruit
Announcement from the Presiding Archbishop Frank Bugge

It is with great regret that I must advise you of the passing to a higher world of our Matriarch Emeritus Meri Spruit in the early hours of the 3rd of June 2014.

Mother Meri has succumbed to old age after a noble lifetime of setting the example of how we as Clergy should try to attain.

We in Australia have fond memories of both the Spruits and they certainly have created the standard we attain to achieve.

R.I.P. Mother of Antioch Malibar Rite.

May she rest in the eternal and may perpetual light shine upon her.  Amen





The crosier that Abp Meri Louise holds was made by Abp Frank Bugge after her visit to Australia in 1987 along with Abp Herman Spruit, to Consecrate both Abp Frank Bugge and Abp Chearle Bugge, to begin the journey of the Australian Church of Antioch.

The M stands for Mother Meri Matriarch. In each point of the M are set 5 green stones on either side making 10 in total. Also 5 garnets are set into the M to represent N.S.E.W & Earth Air Fire & Water.

"All Gods are One God,
and All Goddesses are One Goddess,
and there is but one Initiator"

This is a quote taken from the book - The Sea Priestess - by Dion Fortune which as I understand it, Dion Fortune quoted from an ancient source - the Latin novel - The Golden Ass of Apuleius

Well with much fiddling & testing....this is what I have now done with the Blog, it is now called.... Did You Know.  For the Collect, Epistles & Gospels you will now find them under Liturgy.
Have made a few other changes here and there with links, design & a bit more info etc. So now that I have basically decided how to go about most things, hopefully some information will start to be added to the site slowly.
