Brother Gregory

I was born in America in 1948. My Father was a practicing attorney and my mother was the daughter of Norwegian immigrants. I grew up in southeast Texas. When I wasn't contending with the opinions of parochial taskmasters in private school I was roaming the woods and bayous that meandered along the edge of that growing urban community.

When I was 7 years old my father asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. With out hesitation I said, "A shepherd."

This was a peculiar answer even for me. We lived in the city and had little or no experience with agriculture. In fact I do not recall having every seen a sheep in real life at that age.

In 1962 I entered the seminary of a society under the auspices of the Vatican Church and attended classes at St. Joseph's College. There I studied Latin, Greek and Theology. It was during this time I met an unusual man who had lived at the Vatican in Rome for many years. I believe he was a sincere searching man who had spent his life in the true pursuit of God's will. He spoke to me of the intricacies and inner workings of that austere community and of things to come and spoke to me of the true Church and kingdom of God.

Since those early days, when I set out upon this path in search of the kingdom and its righteousness, I have traveled extensively and made my living at a variety of occupations, watching, seeking and hoping for the truth that would set men free. I married my wife Regina in 1973 and moved to the high deserts of Oregon where we raised our six children. Many of them now married with children of their own. We spend our days in the employment of the Lord Jesus Christ tending His flock and building His Church in the service of His Kingdom at hand.

When we came to the desert I did many things to support my family, one particular task that came my way was the task of a shepherd.

During the time our family grew in this remote high desert valley I seem to have everything I ever wanted, yet, there was an unrest in my soul. Something was missing.

One night while watching the sheep I knelt down in desperation and resignation and told the LORD that I could not figure "it" out. If He wanted me to know something or do something He would have to show me.

Within days things began to happen that changed my life and opened the next step in the path God wanted me to follow. Men, books and publications came into my life, even to my very door step. Like messenger each one brought new knowledge, a new piece of the puzzle.

Through a period of forgiveness, acceptance and action a step by step process emerged in my life and the Kingdom became visible and took form. Its history, its ways and its precepts unfolded as its nature was revealed both in text and in the reality of life on earth.

Both the brothers to and the enemies of Truth crossed into our life's path. Each time new lessons have been learned and faith has grown.

I eventually wrote the book Thy Kingdom Comes. It is a history and synopsis of how the Kingdom has always been within our reach if we will seek it and our righteousness within the activities of our daily lives.

Now seeing the Gospel in its clear and simple reality and purity of purpose we offer to others what God has given us freely. Through publication, the website and speaking engagements around the country we have done what the LORD has commanded.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:7, Luke 4:43, Luke 9:2, Luke 9:60.
