Purpose of the Church

The purpose of the Church of the Revelation is to seek out and combine all Gnostic information and material since the beginning of Gnosticism. To this end it must unite all existing Gnostic communities or individuals so that these voices can be heard by more that just a select few. It will also formulate its own version of Gnosticism that takes into account our latest scientific and technological advancements while still adhering to Gnosticism's primary precept. “Each of us is an individual embarked upon a singular path that we are compelled to follow in order to find our place in this life.”

Scope of Activities of the Church

The Church of the Revelation has been organized exclusively for religious purposes to include making distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (or the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue law).

The scope of our activities are as follows but not limited to:

1. To unite all world religions into one religion that advocates the best principles of each within the context of basic Gnostic philosophy.

2. To live our lives in accordance to the philosophy of Gnosis.

3. To aid members of our organization and the world in meeting their respective needs and goals.

4. To instruct the world on Gnostic philosophy.  

5. To provide mediums for artistic expression that promote the Gnostic message through 
   The Foundation of Gnostic Arts which is dedicated to the advancement of Gnostic Arts. 

Organization of the Church

The Church itself is organized as 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization under the United States of America Internal Revenue Service Code. It strictly adheres to the laws of the United States of America, and the Internal Revenue Code and governs itself accordingly. To this end it is governed by its exempt organization purpose goals, scope of activities and duly enacted by-laws.

At the head of the organization is the primary spokesman and final authority known as the Visionary who operates the Central Temple.  Under him is the church's governing body known as the Council. Under their supervision are the various Ministers that operate temples through a granted charter in selected geographic areas.  

The concept of a Gnostic temple is not to be construed to mean a physical location as it is with other religions.  A Gnostic temple, as exemplified by  our history, is a center for the dissemination of knowledge. The Church of the Revelation allows its ministers complete autonomy in the operation of their respective temples as long as they conform to basic Gnostic doctrines.

Additionally, unlike other Gnostic organizations that have adopted the O or serpent swallowing its tail as the symbol for infinity and creation, we have adopted the Inca symbol known as the Andean Cross that symbolizes the three spiritual levels of reality on the top half, their corresponding three spiritual levels of alternate reality on the bottom half, surrounded by a circle in the center to symbolize the most common element in the universe – a single atom of hydrogen. After all, it is this element that unites all of the energy in all universes.
