Johannite Church
Church in France
The Johannite Church (full title: l'Église Johannite des Chrétiens Primitifs, “The Johannite Church of Primitive Christians”) was a Gnostic Christian denomination founded by the French priest Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat in 1804.[1]
The Johannite Church received its full name in 1828 after Fabré-Palaprat's claimed discovery of the Levitikon gospels.[2] It is termed "Johannite" because it claims continuity with the primitive Johannine Christianity of saints John the Baptist and John the Apostle, and other Christian scriptures attributed to John.[citation needed]
