The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

            Perth.  Shortly  after,  we  met  with  him  and
            submitted  Flame  Ministries  International  in
            obedience to his authority.
                    Recognising  the  calling  we  had  to  preach
            the Gospel, he later formally commissioned us as
            “Catholic Evangelists” by the Laying on of Hands
            as we knelt before him in his office.
                    The  Archbishop  asked  if  we  would  like
            him  to  commission  us  at  a  formal  Mass  in  the
            Cathedral.  Not  looking  for  public  glory  so  to
            speak,  we  explained  that  if  God’s  anointing  is
            truly  present,  people  would  see  its  fruit  and
            accept it, and so we asked his Commission to be in
            private. He then asked us to kneel and so formally
            inducted  us  as  Evangelists  in  the  name  of  the
            Church  with  the ministerial  office and  faculty  to
            preach,  and  so  began  the  process  of  writing  our
            Constitution  with  the  assistance  of  Archbishop
            Hickey over the next five years.
                    Due  to  much  confusion  for  the  Catholic
            public  and  some  groups  and  communities  who
            could  not  understand  nor  accept  this,  and  who
            continued to malign us, and sadly that including
            several priests at that time, we then requested that
            it  be  done  at  a  public  ceremony  at  our  Annual
            Flame  Congress  as  a  public  witness.  Archbishop
            Hickey  could  not  attend  at  that  time  and  so  he
            gave the ceremony to the now late Bishop Healey.
            At  that  Congress,  he  also  accepted  Vows  of
