New Centers of Light

In August, new Centers of Light are opening in Chicago and in New York City. We have not been ready to start Centers in such large cities before since we were not sure of the housing situation and the logistics related to serving the needs of students in those busy places. But our Order of Christ/Sophia is 9 years old and it is time to be a major presence for people to come and be taught the real teachings of the spiritual path. We have Priests who will be able to serve the needs of people there and I personally will be moving to Chicago after having been in the Bay area for some 7 or 8 years. I definitely will miss the great weather in the Bay and the smell of the ocean. I have some lack of fondness for really cold weather, but I will manage and my skin will get tougher to handle the chill.

For those of you in New York and in Chicago, look at our website for offerings of classes, services and seminar weekends in September as we begin to spread the light in your cities. What we offer as a spiritual Order is unique in this world. We offer loving spiritual community where people are real in their conversations, honest and clear. We have a process of spiritual development and unfolding that is designed to take you all the way into the center of your being within the soul to where God resides – the God Self. On the way, many things will have to be cleared out of you in order for you to connect with the real part of you. Your outer layers of defense and self-protection will be peeled away as you let the love heal you. You will finally be able to relax in God’s love under the guidance of our Teachers – Jesus and Mother Mary. Our Priests were taught by Them and those Teachers that stand in for Jesus and Mary guide the Centers of Light across the earth in bringing people the experience of God.

We are not a head-trip school where students memorize a new jargon and participate in empty practices that jack up people’s pride. We teach how to really pray, how to successfully meditate and be in communion with God, and we provide all of the Sacraments to those who are open. We provide spiritual counseling and healing to those who are sick. We are trained to see the cause of the troubles that everyone is plagued with and we have been taught how to overcome those and help each of you overcome them. Our Priests are not trained academically, by rote memorization and indoctrination. Our Priests have to demonstrate a level of consciousness and connection and relationship with God that is real and life-changing. Because of their connection to God, they are able to mediate that love, light and reality to you who come to us for teaching.

So, if you are serious about your relationship to God, come and check us out.

In Christ

Father Peter
