His Ministerial Office Chronology

(Note: While initially being baptized Roman Catholic as an infant in 1978, the family reverted to Evangelical and Protestant churches in the 1980’s. However his educational upbringing remained primarily in Lutheran schools.)

In het jaar van onze Heer, 1990, op de leeftijd van 12, + Stephen kwam voor het eerst onder de voogdij of +Bishop Pastor Leroy Crouch of Restoration Ministries, of Celtic Davidic background, leading the primary Melchizedek Order establishment and school in the world. The Pastor was a Spiritual father to Stephen, who could visit his offices any time, as his own school campus (where Stephen’s Parents were the landlord and school officials) crossed through to the Pastor’s main office there in Garden Grove California. Crouch was a speaker for numerous Ministries that included America’s Promise speaking tours, and had made several lecture series that are carried in their catalogs and in other Celtic (Culdees) University Catalogs including in Scotland and Ireland.

In het jaar van onze Heer, 2000, na 10 jaar actief te zijn geweest als leek in de Culdeeskerk te Orange (Restoration Ministries), en drie jaar van geconcentreerde studie + Stephen werd officieel gezalfd en geordend als een Priester en Evangelist door + bisschop Lesley Boyle, assistent-pastor van wijlen bisschop Pastor Crouch.

He served as Abbot of Barendrecht Abbey, Zuid Holland. His Abbey and wider Celtic Church ministry (ongoing since 2000) delivered priestly services across churches of Holland, Europe and the UK. Several newsletters, including Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant magazines highlighted his “2010 Pilgrimage Crusade” to “Reclaim the Ecclesiastical Rights of Glastonbury”, and his successful ministering in several congregations as a “visiting Abbot”. The primacy in the Culdees in Europe had been won back from various pagan imposters. Membership from numerous countries grew from Germany, South Africa, Ukraine, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium and England.

After the long dedicated ministry service, this rank was confirmed by Culdean (including Anglican, Scottish and Irish church) Clerics at Glastonbury. This was the year the Catholic church stopped doing processions at Glastonbury. To fill in, right on time, +Stephen led a banner procession to the Tor, with a musical procession.

In het jaar van onze Heer, 2017, +Stephen was awarded with a Doctorate of Divinity. As with tradition of ordinations, the Professor Becker from Lutheran Institute of St Peter and St Paul, referred him along with the references to the school’s headmaster. So +Stephen may use in His style HMSH ++Archbishop Dr. Stephen d’Guelph Brunswick, DD (Within the OCC He is called Primace without extra titles, and externally shortens it to Reverend  for unity within other modern international churches that are all considered part of Christ’s one body. Whether you wish to address him as “sir” for his Royal and Imperial inheritance, or the higher titles of “The Rev Dr” or Reverend is also fine and acceptable as brothers should be working with the least amount of obstacles. Per the Parliament of Wolfenbuttel-Brunswick the citizens have other regulations.)

The completion of these additional legalities came through the coursework of the earned Certificates in International Law and International Arbitration from two major accredited Universities in the EU.

Hierin zijn enkele van de priesterlijke lijnen die worden herkend in orthodoxe kringen van het christendom (oost en west). Deze lijnen sluiten in directe opvolging van de Heilige Apostelen aan in een wijdingsceremonie van zalving en handoplegging. http://orthodoxchurch.nl/2020/04/lines-of-apostolic-succession-of-prince-archbishop-dr-stephen-m-dguelph-brunswick-primace-occ/

Als bisschop die een bezoek brengt aan een buitenlandse jurisdictie is het gebruikelijk dat er een herinwijding plaatsvindt, om de geldigheid van de sacramenten binnen die congregaties te bevestigen.

Hoewel sommigen geloven dat deze wijdingen niet nodig zijn, beschouwen verschillende universiteiten wereldwijd deze als een vereiste voor iedereen die in priesterlijke dienst handelt. De Engelse kerk, en vele andere kerken die niet onder de structuur van Rome vallen, besloten de bisschoppelijke opvolging te behouden. Dit omvat alle internationale erkenningen, aangezien er staat dat de Engelse kerk "haar episcopaat heeft behouden, maar niet van paus Gregorius, die Augustinus de monnik hierheen stuurde, maar van Jozef van Arimathea". Dit gaat samen met een breder herstel en erkenning binnen de oosters-orthodoxe kerk (de ware orthodoxe kerk, die ontsnapte aan de bolsjewistische bloedbaden door in de catacomben te wonen, AKA Catacombe-kerk. In overeenstemming met de kanunniken van de oorspronkelijke Russische kerk, Sabbat op zaterdag.)

[Speciale opmerking over de sabbat:De Didascalia van de apostelen wordt in het grootste deel van de orthodoxe wereld als canoniek beschouwd, en daarin is de sabbat zaterdag en wordt het een dag van rust en aanbidding genoemd. In de Stoglav, een officieel manuscript van de Russisch-orthodoxe kerk, gedateerd in het jaar 1556, dat materiaal bevat van de Raad van Moskou tijdens het bewind van Ivan IV (1531-1584), staat een hoofdstuk over de sabbat:
“By the Authority of Peter and Paul, we command to the people to work during the week. But on Subota (Sabbath) and on Nedelja (Sunday) let them worship in the Church and pray, and let them learn something for the sake of good faith. The Subota is the image of the whole creation, while the Nedelja is the day of the resurrection.” Read more in the book published by His Eminence ++Rev Dr Stephen M.K. Brunswick, Primace ,OCC, “Het eren van de sabbat in de orthodoxe kerk“.]
