What is a Johannite?


The Johannite tradition represents just such a community: founded by Saint John the beloved disciple of Jesus, rooted in the tradition of John the Baptist and guided by direct, experiential contact with the Divine, this tradition encourages personal responsibility and freedom of thought and practice.





Saint Sarah’s Parish

We began as a tiny band of seekers 10 years ago, and grew into being one of the largest and most active Gnostic communities within the international communion of the Apostolic Johannite Church. 

St. Sarah’s is radically inclusive and socially engaged.  It is a parish with deep roots in ancient Gnostic and esoteric traditions and wisdom, but equally a safe space for exploring new spiritual insights and employing reason, logic and compassion in our approach to the world, our spirituality, and ourselves.
