Universal Gnostic Church News: New Bishop

I've known Claire for well over a decade now; she joined AODA back when I was still its Grand Archdruid; she was also a student of the Dolmen Arch system when I was teaching it personally as a correspondence course, and worked her way straight through that rather challenging course to the highest degree of Gwyddon Rhydd (Free Loremaster). I am very pleased to be able to confer on her this additional rank -- and the responsibilities that go with it.
Please join me in congratulating Bishop Claire!
