Wanted: Sane Ecclesiastical Gnostic Jurisdiction

I left the Independent Catholic Union (an autocephalous orthodox jurisdiction) over a year ago as of the first of June; I've tried to take this year to examine my beliefs and the way I approach the divine as well as my vocation as a priest.

I began by asking myself if my vocation was ever truly there or if I had just somehow been accidentally ordained without having a vocation to priestly ministry at all.

I can say, now, that I've never more strongly felt that vocation; I didn't know how I'd feel being out of active ministry, but after a year of not exercising regular sacramental ministry within a congregational context, I miss it. I don't just miss administering the sacraments, I miss working with people, being there as a guide and mentor, and I miss being able to make a difference (even a minor one) in people's lives through my ministry.

I've continued to say Mass for and with friends, family, and others who've asked; I've continued to minister to people as best I'm able, but it's not quite the same.

I can't say I really enjoy being a vagante priest, as it were.

I've been evaluating some of the gnostic jurisdictions with decent web presences and it seems there are a few options.

• The Universal Gnostic Church - They don't really have any particular theology or dogma and they work more along the lines of mentorship than proper ecclessiastical oversight and jurisdiction.
  
  
• The Thomasine Church - I've had fairly long discussions with Deacon Randy Knapp from the Thomasine Church about beginning their formation program for reception as a priest. They seem rather tight-lipped about what they teach and how they teach it, and that quite honestly gives me a reason to pause. I've still got the application in my file cabinet, just mulling over whether or not it's a good idea to get involved at this point.
  
  
• S. Hoeller's Ecclesia Gnostica - They've been around for quite some time and they've stable. From a theological perspective, I can find myself feeling at home with them. However, they pretty much require residential formation, which is impossible at the moment.
  
  
• The Apostolic Johannite Church - I've only recently found out about the AJC through Jordan Stratford+'s blog. The formation program looks decent and, ironically enough, it's a lot like the one I designed for the ICU. The theology as expressed in their catechism seems fairly standard apostolic gnostic fare, and I don't mean that in an insulting manner. The formation program would quite likely be a help in shoring up the inadequacies in my own formation.
  

Bit to think about. But, at this point I feel ready to start getting back in to things. It will require further study and oppenness on my part, I think, but that's to be expected.
