Any & all right-minded adults can be a Circuit Rider in this independent connexion and start their own Class (a small group of members) immediately and un-interrupted, without ever meeting other established members (see offical handbook "Class Ticket" for more information). Every member is a lifetime student and Dean of their own one-man school, always in autodidactic erudition of Abrahamology & Christology. Methodos means 'pursuit of knowledge', so always seek and gain knowledge no matter what the teacher's religion is. We hope to work with The Ethiopian Coptic Church, Baha'i Temple, AME Church, Moravian Church, The Healing Church*, Nation of Gods & Earths and many others. Unuamo ('one love').
Brand new members are labeled 'Subcanons' until he or she complete a 3, 6 or 9 month term under the Nazirite Oath, before becoming officially ordained as a 'Canon' at a special Marzeah thrown annually. To be Class Leader, a Circuit Rider needs at least 12 Subcanons or Canons to start a Class, always using the leader's last name as the title of said class (6-8 Classes per Society/Chirche, unlimited number of Societies/Chirches per Circuit/Round, approx. 24 Circuits/Rounds per Nome/District). Only some Class Leaders are promoted to 'Right Canon'. The highest rank is Metropolitan-Archcanon aka Metropolitan. All Rt. Canons must have 9 years as a Circuit Stewart before being (eligible for a nomination to be) an Archcanon. All members of the Alpha Lambda Chapt. are Archcanons.
We call the last leader of The Way by his original Nazorean title "Pharisatha", first used in Antioch. We pray to Elohim. We participate in an optional kosher diet 6 days a week, but a non-optional strict water-diet on the Sabbath. We are Nazoreans, not Jews or Jewish. We fully support the State of Philistia 100%, not the illegal Khazar State of Israel. We believe 'Kaneh Bosm' is holy (and considered to be the eucharist, an oral tradition from Ethiopia dating back to the time of Christ). We believe modern-day Christendom is flawed, as a whole. We reject the pagan traditions introduced by the Emperor Constantine. Your Pope is the Pentarch under the Patrimony of Peter, but we are under the Patrimony of James, Brother of Jesus, Cousin of John and the Original Pope. The term 'Pope' was first used only locally in Punic North Africa.
The Apocrisiary (la Arkiprimato de Sacerdoto Johano) wears a diadem on his/her head or the exclusive dark purple poms on his/her dark purple biretta. All birettas have the peak-less point on the right side, not the left like the Roman Catholics. Members do not wear zucchettos at anytime. The Pilleo (a pointed hat) and The Stofo (a scarf similar to a keffiyeh, with the "Cenaclar's Plaid" pattern) are trademarks of The Maafaony Rite and reserved for its ordained members only.
The Punic Nazorean Hypsistarian Connexion (KNHK) was founded on August 8, 2008 by me, la ĉefpastro. The Connexion (aka "La Interkonekto") is overseen and governed by Prebendaries of the Alpha Lambda Chapter of Omicron Lambda Gamma Archconfraternity, headed by the Apocrisiary. The two Metropolitan Nomes (Metatron & Sandalphon) will be based within the United States border. All KNHK 'Ecclesiums' (collegiate chirches) and 'Archecclesiums' (cenacles) are Cenobite Simultaneums within the New World. The Alpha Lambda Chapterhouse ("Kapitulaci"), Sampi Circuit Studium Generale & Sampi Circuit Studium Particulare will be located somewhere in la Golfeto Areo de Alta Kalifornio. The Archecclesium of the Metatron Nome (Cenacle of Metatron) will be in La Ebenaĵoj, Alta Kalifornio.
Some bands and classes raise funds through colportage services with the Prester John Bible (KNNT), a polyglot New Testament bible with the 'Gospel of Mary', 'Infancy Gospel of Thomas', 'Infancy Gospel of James' and the 'Acts of Paul & Thecla' added. First available in English-Esperanto and Spanish-Esperanto (later in Seychellois Creole-Esperanto & Hatian Creole-Esperanto). A version in Usonigos Jida will be made for Prebendaries only. "The Gospel Teaching" is another scripture published by the chirche and connexion.
Why is the description "Christian" not good enough for this Chirche? Because Church Fathers like Tertullus didn't use the word. The first confirmed use of the word "Nazarenes" (in Greek, "Nazoraioi") occurs from Tertullus before Antonius Felix. Tertullus did not acknowledge 'Iesous ho Nazoraios' ("Jesus of Nazareth") as 'Iesous ho Christos' ("Jesus the Messiah") and did not call Paul's sect 'Christianoi' ("followers of the Messiah"). The Greek New Testament uses "Nazarene" six times and "Nazorean" 13 times (as seen below). In the Book of Acts, "Nazorean" is used to refer to a follower of Jesus, i.e. a Christian, rather than an inhabitant of a town. More evidence needed? "Notzrim" is the modern Hebrew word for 'Nazoreans/Christians' and commonly used to mean "Christian" in Syriac (Nasrani) and Arabic.
The official language of the Chirche is "Maafaika" (or 'Usonigos Jida'), a Neo-Yiddish involving Esperanto & the whole Greek Alphabet. The original cross, the 'Iota Chi Chrismon' ('Star of Bethlehem') is the official symbol of the Connexion, but the Sator Square (seen at the top) & the Hand of Asherah (a Hamsa symbol with “ASHRH” in Punic script on center) is also used by the Chirche. We fully embrace the Adoptionism of Christology and the Panbabylonism of Abrahamology. We now know the beginning of the movement was totally funded by women. The woman (as a whole) have been robbed of their rightful venerable place in Christendom. Our belief in the Wife of Ein Sof coupled with the high position of women in general within the KNHK differs greatly from any other Methodist, Catholic, Gnostic or Jewish Christian Church in existence, past or present. For example, our women keep their last name after marriage in some form or fashion and only a Canoness or Canon’s wife has the right to an ‘Abrahamic Marriage’. This is where a underwife can be added to the marriage through civil union or ceremony at the sole choice of the wife. Women have God’s favor and only women have ‘The Mark of God’ (mtDNA).
