AJC Conclave
Dear Friends:On May 25th through May 31st, 2009, the Apostolic Johannite Church is holding their 2009 Conclave in Boston, Massachusetts. The website for the event is http://conclave. johannite. org/
The Alexandrian Gnostic Church enjoys a warm fraternal relationship with the Apostolic Johannite Church, and we will be sending a delegation to the Conclave, including myself.
The Conclave looks to be an exciting and edifying get-together, drawing some of the finest Gnostic clergy. Also, noted scholar April DeConick is scheduled to be the featured speaker.
If you're able to make it to Boston for a week - or even for a few days - you shouldn't miss what promises to be the "biggest event in Gnosticism of the last 100 years!"
