Welcome to the website of the Assembly of Sophia. We are a temple of Ecclesia Gnostica Universalis located in the Birmingham, Alabama area.
Gnosis is commonly translated as “knowledge”, but it is more aptly translated as “experienced knowledge”. Our goal is not simply to learn about the Divine from others, but to experience it ourselves and learn of its nature through our own unique perspectives and experiences with it. We wish to know the Divine intimately and our own personal relationship with it and our universe.
We cannot lead you to this direct experience with the Divine. My knowledge of it is unique to me. It will not suffice for your knowledge. We can only offer you the company of fellow seekers of the Divine along the path of discovery.
As a unique and special spark of the Divine, it is up to you to look within. Examine and discover yourself. Just perhaps, you may learn a little about that which made you and from whence you came.
You have my blessings and my invitation to join us,
Tau Sciam
Bishop, Ecclesia Gnostica Universalis, and head of the Assembly of Sophia
