Australian Church of Antioch Book of Gospels

Picture

The Australian Church of Antioch Book of Collects, Epistles and Gospels, are taken from sources other than the standard scripture. Many think there is no other fount of wisdom apart from the Scriptures, but there are hundreds of inspirational writings and quotations from some of the wisest and greatest names in history. Quite often words of wisdom are found from the most unlikely sources, such as Chief Seattle the famous Red Indian man after whom a city was named.

The Bible does NOT have a monopoly on wisdom or knowledge, and our book has taken inspiration from many sources, ignoring the facts of race, religion or any other thing, but simply absorbing the enlightenment of any and all origins that we can find.

I have been accused of being un-Christian because of this collection, but I stand by my belief that Jesus did NOT hesitate to quote parables to get his point across, and therefore I see no reason why I cannot follow his example.  Compassion and wisdom are not lacking in Buddhism, Hindi, True Islam, and all other genuine religions (including pagan), and it behoves us to seek the things we have in common with these other beliefs --- who knows we might even see the way clear to work together for a better world where all are in harmony.
I urge all to think as they digest these writings, and absorb the greater meaning lurking within their midst.
