Overview

NAMASTE

The western aspect of Church of the East is a very recent (1996) revival of this ancient Tradition. The western Church looks, sounds and possibly feels different to the remaining eastern churches because of Church of the East's ability to adapt herself to different cultures. What we do have in common with all other aspects of Church of the East is a common allegiance to the same Lord, the same Scripture and the same Tradition and all clergy resort under tutelage of one authority.

We hold especially dear to our hearts a sacred set of Scriptures collected as the Eastern Bible.

Church of the East places a high premium on Spirituality which is a lifestyle with us. We firmly believe in experiencing life to the full extent and attempt to refuse a mundane existence. To this effect we also adhere to the principle of Sacred Sensuality which enriches our lives to the purpose of spiritual growth. We hold male, female and child in the same regard since we hold the Male and Female aspects of God, and our Childship, close to heart and mind.

Heaven for us is a state of existence which we endeavour to cultivate 'inside ourselves', in a manner of speaking, and hell is a state of existence we try not to cultivate inside ourselves and we endeavour to eradicate it when found that others are suffering this affliction.

We believe in sacred marriages, sacred sensuality, sacred fellowship, as sacraments, the family unit, the spiritual family, mysticism, works of mercy, simplicity, ecstasy, spiritual discipline and living life holistically.

We are taught to challenge culturally generated thought patterns and we are usually not thought to be very normal. We inherit both a passion for helping children in difficult circumstances and a tolerance for the beliefs of others.

HUMILITY, SIMPLICITY, COMPASSION

Living in these three as watchwords--before your thoughts, your tongue and your actions, cannot otherwise but lead to Christ in God's Energies.

MINDFULNESS

Make this your meditation, your daily contemplation, your lifestyle -- and soon you embody the Mother aspect of God, the Wisdom by which our Saviour was filled

B0502 AYS "After the festival when the guests and devotees from India were leaving Yesu asked to be taken to the elders to thank them. When the monks brought Yesu into the assembly he started reciting verses from their Scripture which teaches of humility, mercy and innocense and he asked the elders to explain why, even if their Scriptures tell them otherwise, do they refuse to feed and heal the children from their own. But the elders answered that the children are from another caste and sect. And Yesu said, 'I was not aware that you are from a different caste to mine. I and my disciple and the children are from the caste of the children of God the Father and Mother but you say that we are different � now this means that you are from the caste of evil because only the caste of evil thinks of themselves as belonging elsewhere than the caste of the children of God.' And a great argument erupted between the elders and the priest and the devotees. The most senior elder then came forward and asked Yesu, 'Teacher, we have heard how these things happened in other Ashrama when your wrath make the people rip themselves apart. This time please do not leave us but help us to find a true solution for some of what you had said is true teaching and shows weeds growing in our field; we were not even aware of these.' And Yesu and Mari stayed with them two months and they were teaching and grooming devotees for The Way and the tradition purified itself from the rust and moths of years of neglect." (The Eastern Bible: Acts of Yesu the Saviour, 62,64)
