In the realm of divine existence, there is a singular, eternal, shapeless, and all-powerful God who orchestrated the creation of the universe and all life forms within it. This faith is called Caelism. Every human being traces their lineage back to a common origin, embodying the principle omnis cellula e cellula. Within the tapestry of existence, God’s intricate plan unfolds, a plan that transcends human alteration, urging us to embrace our role within it. As the architect of life itself, God’s creation encompasses both earthly existence and the promise of an afterlife where our essence converges with the divine.

The holy scriptures, comprising both the Old Testament and the New Testament, offer profound insights into the nature of God and the divine realm. The Old Testament, while not intended for literal interpretation, serves as a metaphorical foundation for comprehending God’s essence and character. While most of the New Testament’s books and epistles, excluding the Book of Revelation, are deemed non-canonical by the Church, their collective wisdom contributes to a multifaceted understanding of spiritual truths.

Within this broader context, the Book of Enoch delves into matters of the spirit and the afterlife, providing glimpses beyond the earthly realm. Simultaneously, the Book of Eliphaz aids in exploring the intricacies of God’s creation, uncovering profound insights into the nature of the divine handiwork.

The heroic virtues and unwavering faith are conveyed through the Books of the Maccabees, igniting lessons of loyalty and valor. Similarly, the Gospel of Judas Iscariot offers a distinctive perspective on the narrative of Jesus, shedding light on previously obscured truths.

Enoch, the son of Jared and the author of the Book of Enoch, holds a significant place within our congregation. Revered as “a man of truth” according to the accounts in the Book of Eliphaz, he emerges as a pivotal figure in delivering divine messages. His legacy is intricately intertwined with our church, where he assumes the role of the paramount divine messenger. The invaluable insights bestowed upon us through the visions vividly depicted in his literary work provide a profound understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven and the intricacies of the Four Spiritual Realms governed by YHWH. Our church is named after this pious prophet and apostle and January 3rd marks the annual commemoration of Enoch’s enduring legacy.

St. Immanu-El of Nazareth of Galilee, is the son of Joseph of the Tribe of Judah, and Mary to the Tribe of Benjamin. His arrival into the world is distinguished by the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, a miraculous event that sets the stage for his profound purpose. His crucifixion is an act of self-sacrifice through which the transgressions of humanity are cleansed, paving the way for salvation and redemption.

Recognized by most Christians under the appellation Jesus, he is simultaneously adorned with the epithet Christ, signifying his anointed status. However, our community adheres to a distinctive perspective, choosing to honor him through the acknowledgment of his birth name: Immanu-El. We also find significance in the sobriquet Lamb of God, a title endowed upon him by the apostle John, son of Zebedee, and Eliphaz, the son of Josiah. By embracing this personalized nomenclature and title, our community engages in a distinct form of reverence.

In the Church of St. Enoch the Apostle, a number of towns and sites hold deep significance as sacred locations. We wholeheartedly encourage our members, whenever feasible, to embark on pilgrimages to these revered sites:

Jerusalem, renowned as the most sacred city in the world, holds a place of unparalleled significance. It stands as the very grounds upon which prophets and saints from St. Enoch to Abraham, and from Elijah to the revered figures of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, all the way to St. Immanu-El and even the esteemed Prophet Mohammad, have trodden. This city bears witness to the divine connections woven through the annals of history. It hosted both of God’s esteemed temples and the anticipated location of a future temple in the end of time. The city’s name echoes through the pages of the Bible, a testament to its profound resonance within our faith. Our church, acknowledging this unparalleled spiritual heritage, holds Jerusalem in the highest esteem, recognizing its pivotal role in the tapestry of human spirituality.

Haifa, located upon the slopes of Mount Carmel, emerges as a city with immense biblical significance. It is notably featured in the scriptures as the place where the prophet Elijah, with unwavering devotion to the divine, wrought miracles that resounded against pagan forces. It also served as the setting wherein Eliphaz, the son of Josiah, was graced with visions that found their way into his sacred book. Haifa’s shores harbor the port that once bore witness to the departure of the venerable Paul the Apostle, setting sail for Rome on a sacred mission to disseminate the word of God among the gentiles.

The Basilica of the Annunciation stands as the hallowed site where the prophecy of St. Immanu-El’s birth was bestowed upon his mother, Mary. This is the very reason we revere him as St. Immanu-El of Nazareth, a title rooted in the profound significance of the place where the divine revelation unfolded. Within the sacred walls of this basilica, the Holy Spirit’s proclamation infused humanity with the promise that the long-awaited Messiah’s arrival was imminent.

Lindisfarne, also known as the Holy Island, bears sanctity due to its historical role as the guardian of the Book of Eliphaz for centuries until its destruction by the Vikings in 793 AD.

Santiago de Compostela holds a distinctive position as the utmost outpost within the Roman Empire where the teachings of God were disseminated. This profound historical context imbues the location with deep significance, drawing pilgrims for centuries to its sacred thresholds. In alignment with this venerable tradition, we too hold Santiago de Compostela in the highest esteem, recognizing its enduring importance in the spiritual journey of believers.

In Genesis 1:28, a divine injunction is bestowed upon humanity: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

This divine grant of authority over all living creatures is both a gift and an obligation. As the most evolved organism on this planet, we are granted the privilege to harness its resources, molding them to our necessities and desires.

Yet, this comes hand in hand with the responsibility to maintain the equilibrium of nature, ensuring the welfare of its inhabitants, and exercising this dominion with wisdom and restraint. Our prerogative to utilize resources should be tempered by a mindful commitment to preserve the stability of ecosystems, refraining from causing undue harm to the fauna and flora.

God’s salvation extends to both individuals and communities. The salvation of the individual is attained through adherence to God’s commandments and the reverence of fellow humans, as stipulated in Genesis 9:6: “For in the image of God made He man.” Collective salvation is achieved by uniting as a community to offer praise to God, as underscored by Psalm 47:1: “O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” Participation in the Church’s gatherings and activities serves as a conduit for contributing to the communal journey toward salvation. By actively engaging in these events, individuals play an instrumental role in advancing the shared endeavor of the community towards achieving collective salvation.

In the Church of St. Enoch the Apostle we adhere to the Judeo-Christian tradition, which prompts us to embrace the Old Testament’s perspective on the calendar year, commencing in the autumn season. While we utilize the Gregorian calendar for our routine daily affairs, we have crafted our own distinct holidays that align with the church’s overarching mission and values. These special occasions serve a dual purpose: they not only differentiate our community but also nourish our collective spiritual well-being, fostering a sense of elevated connection to our faith and principles.

Thus, within our community has ratified a calendar that commences on September 22nd with the Day of Peace and concludes on September 21st with the Day of Forgiveness, with leap years synchronized to the Gregorian calendar.
