Australian Church of Antioch is an Independent Catholic Church, following the traditions of the Catholic Church with an open mind. Esoteric Teachings and Gnostic values also apply.
We are a "Universal" Church that accepts any Faith as valid.
We do not judge anyone for their beliefs, race, creed, colour or sexual orientation. We are all from the same source, we all share the same water, air, planet and God. We can coexist peacefully and also with nature... it has been done before.
It was at 'Antioch' that they were first called Christians.

The Cubiculum of the Veiled Woman
Fresco found in the Catacombs of Priscilla, Rome, Italy and dated to 250 CE.
It shows a woman wearing a rich purple garment and a veil, with her hands raised in the position used by priests for public worship. Some say this is an orant figure - meaning a figure with hands raised in prayer and not a priest.
Of course there were some who
would not want it known there were indeed female clergy, hence the term orant.
