THE CAMBRIAN EPISCOPAL CHURCH
OF THE GRAIL
The Cambrian Episcopal Church of the Grail is an evangelical and catholic church which teaches the esoteric tradition of the first Christians. By "evangelical", we mean that we teach that mankind can only be saved by the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The offer of salvation is extended to all who will receive Christ in faith as their Savior.
By "catholic", we mean that we teach the cardinal doctrines of the faith as expressed in the Church's three Ecumenical Creeds: the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. While we do accept other churches as Christian which have a deficient understanding of these Creeds, yet we hold them with guarded communion.
The "esoteric tradition" of the Early Church refers to those teachings and practices which existed prior to its first apostasy in the middle of the Second Century. Because the Roman Empire sought to exterminate the Esoteric Doctrines, they were veiled with symbolic language to protect those who believed and practiced them. There are still hostile elements in the world today, even within Christianity, which expose teachers of the Tradition to persecution and danger. However, America's free society has greatly diminished those risks and has provided you with the opportunity to hear these truths.
Although we use the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer as our primary resource, the Cambrian Episcopal Church of the Grail is not structurally connected to the Episcopalian Church or to the Anglican Church. But we are episcopal in our form of church government.
The Cambrian Episcopal Church of the Grail represents a branch of the Celtic tradition that comes through ancient Wales (hence, the name "Cambrian") . It traces its doctrinal and spiritual lineage through the representatives of Celtic Christianity to the Lord's kinsmen (called the Desposyni) and Apostles of the Jerusalem Church in the First Century. The Desposynic Church is the true Mother Church of Christianity.
The Cambrian Episcopal Church of the Grail is unique in that it is an episcopal office for father priests. We teach that the true Body of Christ is organized around the family structure. As it was in the Jerusalem Church, we encourage house churches.
