Welcome to the Apostolic Church of the Pleroma

The ACP is a sacramental Gnostic Church with roots in the French Gnostic Tradition; but with a progressive attitude that seeks to take advantage of all the latest Gnostic scholarship in areas such as the Nag Hammadi texts and related material. The ACP thus seeks to understand the intents and means of the ancient Gnostics, and to reconcile those teachings with the system of Hermetic and Qabalistic gnosis that has been passed down to us as the Western Mystery Tradition - and this within the framework of a sacramental ecclesia.

Following the tradition laid out over a century ago by the French Gnostic Church, the ACP maintains a close working relationship with Martinism. This is facilitated through the Christian Knights of Saint-Martin
