Religious organization based on ideas and systems of early Christian and Jewish mysticism
Church in CA, United States
Although members claim that it dates back to at least the 1700s, the current Sophian Gnostic spiritual lineage was first started in the 1880s by Tau Miriam, an Englishwoman. In England, she initiated Tau Elijah, who, early in the twentieth century, moved to the West Coast of the United States.
Tau Elijah died and passed his spiritual lineage on to Tau Malachi eben Ha-Elijah, who later founded the Sophia Fellowship in 1983. Tau Malachi is the current bishop of Ecclesia Pistis Sophia. The church is operating in Grass Valley, California.
