The Alexandrian Gnostic Church ("AGC") is a modern sacramental gnostic community. Description The AGC describes itself as "an Ancient-Modern Gnostic Community - we honor the transformative power of traditional ritual and practices, while working together to create a praxis which is suitable for the time in which we live. In our practice, we draw upon many sources, including especially the Gnostic communities of the first centuries of the common era , as interpreted by our own experiences and needs as a community." Apostolic Succession The Alexandrian Gnostic Church claims valid Apostolic Succession from Coptic, Orthodox, Catholic, and Old Catholic lineages, as well as the Gnostic Doinel succession.. Liturgy The AGC's central liturgical practice is the Liturgy of Divine Wisdom, a contemplative gnostic eucharist based on traditional liturgies. Individual practices include hesychia, the Middle Pillar, Centering Prayer, and Nepsis. See Also
