Scripture presents the relationship of Jesus
Christ to the Church in many different ways. A very beautiful, meaningful one is
that of the Bridegroom and Bride. This is more than a metaphor; for Jesus Christ
is indeed the New Adam, the Father of the new humanity, and Mary Ecclesia (the
Bride) is the New Eve. We are their spiritual children, born of their fruitful,
mystical union. This site advocates Bridal
Christianity. Bridal Christianity is the song of the Troubadour and Bard. It
is the Chivalry of Camelot and the Knights Templar.
Bridal Christianity is Celtic and Grail
Christianity. Bridal Christianity is similar to
and closely related to the Anglican Communion deriving from the ancient
Celtic and Saxon churches, and like the Anglican Communion, there is no central
governance.
We have a common mission to live by Mystical
Christian teachings and the Wisdom traditions from Solomon. We are an interfaith
Christian Ministry: Primarily Anglican,
Our set apart mission is a higher Mariology and
our adherence to the universal doctrine of religious freedom:
more catholic then the Catholics, more protestant then the Protestants, Bridal
Christianity seeks to restore the blessing of marriage to the Catholic
priesthood; and seeks to restore the truth of Mary the Mother and Mary the Bride
within the Protestant church. We seek to restore the priesthood to women in the
Christian church to the original tradition of holding all offices including
priests, deacons, and bishops. Our purpose is to publish the truth of the Holy
Spirit as the Feminine Divine and proclaim the wedding of our Lord and Lady.
Since the Holy Spirit is God's Wisdom and Christ's Beloved Church, Devotion
toward Her is an integral part of our spiritual life and of our consecration to
Christ. We advocate Syrian tradition as evidence revealing the liberty of women
as the oldest Christian tradition and as Aramaic Heritage, and Aramaic was, of
course, the language of Jesus. In Syriac literature prior to the year 400, the
Holy Spirit was understood to be feminine, and referred to as “She”. We believe
that a careful study of the scriptures reveal the Holy Spirit as female. We
further believe that a careful study of the scriptures proclaims the sacredness
of marriage and reveals marriage within the priesthood as a vital Christian
truth. Nowhere in the New Testament does it state that Jesus was celibate. As a
matter of fact, we know the Apostles were married and in Judaism an unmarried
man is considered incomplete. Typically, all Jewish holy men, teachers and
prophets alike were married. We believe the inclusion and the return to the
feminine divine is a necessary part of the spiritual journey. Women’s stories
matter. if we today were to write-women’s -story into the biblical narratives
and into Jewish ritual practice, what would that women’s story look like? what
would Judaism and Christianity itself look like? How would we imagine the
Divine? what would our values be? what would our community be? What life cycle
ceremonies would be important to us? What prayers? What songs? What music? We
claim both Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene as the image of the Immaculate Holy
Spirit. Bridal Christianity celebrates the return of female divinity to
our spiritual lives. The theological value stems from the truth of faith about
the Universal Mediation of Graces which the Immaculate effects between Christ
and men in perfect, synchronous symbiosis within the Church. The act of
consecration to the Immaculate will yield fruit, not only by our loving and
imitating the Immaculate, but chiefly by the unconditional abandonment of self
into Her hands and in Her Heart, to be transformed and likened to Her so as to
become "conformed to the image of Her Son", in the highest and most sublime
form, "She Herself," as it were, living, speaking, and working in this world. A
soul that is consecrated to the Immaculate is assisted by Her Mediation of grace
to more perfectly conform to Jesus Christ. The Immaculate is the bearer of
Christ to mankind and is the bearer of mankind to Christ. Jesus is the Lover of the Church and the
Christian soul. He is the Bridegroom and we are the Bride. Jesus repeatedly
described himself as the Bridegroom, bringing up the powerful love imagery
of the Song of Songs to his listeners' minds. This image of theosis
carries with it a powerful message of what changes us; Christ's unfailing and
total passion for us. Theosis is considered the fruition of grace and love,
nothing that comes to us by right or by nature. Our union with Christ is
passionate, ardent, joyous and life-giving.
Bridal Christianity places special emphasis on the direct personal experience of
God through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Ghost, proceeding
from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty and glory with the
Father and the Son, very and eternal God. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a
living being and that She is the executive agent of the Godhead in the
dispensation of grace. The Church understands Apostolic succession not as an
external transfer of the very act of ordination but rather the faith connected
with this act, namely the preservation of the Apostolic teaching on the grace of
priesthood within a given group. We affirm that every human being, without
distinction, is created in the image of God, and has a full and equal claim on
the love and pastoral care of the Church. We are a community with a
compassionate, tolerant, and reasonable approach to the issues of life and
faith, without prejudice or rigidity. Bridal Christianity seeks to reform and
restore the Christian Church in Love.This is the Hagia Sophia. This is
the Notre Dame. This is Mary's Church; the Spirit and the Bride.
