FAQ

-- What is an independent church?

Although The Church of St. Mary and St. John has valid lines of
Apolistic Succession, it does not stand under the canons and doctrine
of any other church. It has it's own set of canon laws and doctrine.

-- Why do we need another church?

There is currently no other church or religion that has the same open
and accepting stance. Since the destruction of matriarchy, patriarchy
has dominated every main stream religion, and even if some of the
churches are now accepting female Priests again, they are still
venerating only a masculine God and trinity.

manipulate and control rather than enlighten. That most of the
people have been denied enlightenment, as the true teachings of
Mary Magdalene and John The Baptist have been suppressed.

Father and Divine Child.

Priests and spiritual teachers.
