More than, anything else those who answered the call indicated that a sense of community is the most important single quality that ESP can provide.

We at the pronaos have an exciting vision of reinvigorating the group with new energy, ideas and stronger bonds between members.  We’ve got a team working on it now and the new blog is part of this overall effort.

To better serve you, the local AMORC community, we want to listen first to the members.  What are your best experiences with AMORC?  What do you want from your local pronaos?  What do you like, what don’t you like about the rituals?
