Whereas the Gnostic Catholic Church, adhering to the vital elements of
the most ancient true tradition, fixes its intentions and its aims most firmly
on the future. And whereas the world has entered the New Aeon, the Age of
the Crowned and Conquering Child, and the Masters have decided that the time
has come for High Initiates to administer the Sacraments of the Age of Horus.
Now, therefore, We, by virtue of the Supreme authority vested in us do hereby
nominate and appoint our very dear brother and most reverend father in God
William Bernard Crow by the name and title of [Mahoran Mar] Basilius Abdullah
[III.] a Sovereign Patriarch of the Gnostic Catholic Church and Vicar of Salomon
with full right, power and authority to administer the said Church and to
consecrate, ordein, appoint hyrarchs, priests, priestesses, deacons and other
necessary Officers therein, to work the Gnostic
Catholic Mass, and to take charge of all ceremonials, organisational,
and financial affairs in connection therewith.
