The Holy Order of MANS

When I was a kid in the 70's, my mom and stepdad took us to a new church in the neighborhood, the Holy Order of MANS. It was in a converted house and the people seemed really nice. She ended up joining, and even though I wasn't a member, they let me have the communion wine, which I really liked....

Anyway, over the decades, the local church shut down. We visited them in San Francisco a couple of times, but then my mom had other interests. My stepdad joined AMORC and the local Masonic lodge, and my mom did her own thing. We heard that the church eventually shut down altogether.

Fast forward several decades, and I managed to find cobbled together and resurrected remnants of the group and decided to try and find out what they were really about. I guess they were kind-of a Rosicrucian church with stuff lifted from BOTA and Paul Foster Case outright. I don't remember anything about Tarot when we went to their meetings, but it seems like it's a mainstay now.

Anyhow, I just thought I would share and see if there was any insight into their organization from the wider RC point of view.
