Ohio Rosicrucians, AMORC

Mission Statement:

The Ohio Region of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC (Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis) seeks to provide members and seekers opportunities to experience accelerated personal and spiritual growth by meeting with like-minded people and participating in mystical experiments and studies to promote esoteric knowledge and higher states of consciousness. Attending a Rosicrucian Learning Center event sponsored by an affiliated body (local group) such as an Atrium, Pronaos, Chapter, or Lodge gives members camaraderie, assistance, friendship, and instruction in the quest for spiritual wisdom and personal evolution.

AMORC promotes an ancient primordial tradition that "... seeks to establish a fundamental origin of religious belief in all authentic religious teachings, adhering to the principle that universal truths are a cross-cultural phenomenon and transcendent of their respective traditions, mythologies, and religious beliefs."
