Quote:The Most Reverend John Cole – 1953-2010

The North American College of Gnostic Bishops mourns the passing of one its own- The Most Reverend John Cole, in Ecclesia Tau Ioannes Harmonius.

His Grace was a dedicated and true Servant of the Gnosis, and an accomplished esotericist and Martinist- having served as a Bishop in the Ecclesia Gnostica Apostolica (Bishop of Evansville, Indiana), Presiding Bishop of the Gnostic Church of Christianopolis, Grand Master of the Ancient Martinist Order (Sar Quaero Lucem) and Grand Commander of the Rosicrucian Order of the Grail.

His Grace joined the NACGB as the delegate for the Gnostic Church of Christianopolis in early 2005 and in 2007 scaled back his participation to Individual Membership. This was owing to his battle with cancer which he would continue to fight bravely in the years to come.

His Grace was widely respected in the Ecclesiastical Gnostic movement, and he enjoyed good relations with many clergy and laity throughout. We all have been blessed by his efforts and contributions, and his presence will be felt and remembered for many years to come.

May eternal light shine upon him.
