In Australia there something new on the agenda. New research has come to light showing Tasmania to be the true centre of revived Christian Orders. His Eminence, Prince John, The Grand Duke of Avram, The Cardinal Archbishop, The Grand Master is available at PO Box 628, Sorell, Tasmania, 7172. Phone: 61 3 62651007 Fax: 61 3 62651007 His Grace, The Most Noble, The Duke of Avram was also an elected Member for Lyons in the Parliament of Tasmania. This Australian claims to be the true successor to everybody and everything. He is the Grand Master of: THE ORDER of THE SACRED SWORD and LANCE their statement "The Order has a non-continuous career. It's origin is said to date from the time and celebrate when a priest Peter Barthelemy was said to have been visited by the Holy apostle St. Andrew who in a vision is said to have taken him to the Church of St. Peter in Antioch. This was then a Saracen Mosque. It is said that St. Peter told the priest to dig before the Alter and there he would find a Sword and the very Lance that had pierced the side of Christ whence had flowed the salvation of the world. He was told to deliver the Sword and Lance to Count Raymond and he would recover Antioch. Peter told his superiors of the vision. A hole was dug in front of the altar and a Sword and Lance were found there. Peter in his vision was told to deliver them to Count Raymond and he would recover Antioch. History informs us that this did happen and the Order was consecrated to perpetuate the memory of that great event. Count Toulouse as a reward carried it at the head of the Crusaders army in 1098. Only Christians who accept the Statutes of The Order can be admitted." The only other requirement is a wadge of dosh. How many other Orders have a non-continuous existence?
