The Fellowship Organization
The Fellowship of Friends is registered as a
501(c)(3) California
non-profit church organization and is a member of the International Council of
Community Churches (ICCC). The
Fellowship was founded in 1970
in the Fourth
Way tradition, also known as “esoteric Christianity”.
As the Fellowship continues to evolve, it has become increasingly aware of the connections that exist between spiritual schools and religions throughout the history of humanity, including the Egyptians, Judaism, Christianity, and Hinduism. The spiritual doctrines and practices of the church have expanded to incorporate understandings of many spiritual teachings. In the past, the primary focus was on the teachings of Ouspensky and Gurdjieff. The Fellowship now increasingly looks to the texts of the great religions for its spiritual guidance and understanding.
