Church of Light

The Church of Light was incorporated November 2, 1932 in Los Angeles, California. Its mission is “to teach, practice, and disseminate The Religion of The Stars, a way of life for the Aquarian Age, as set forth in writings of C.C. Zain.” (The Church of Light, "Vision for the 21st Century.")〔(''Vision for the 21st Century'' )〕 The three founding officers were President C.C. Zain, pen name of Elbert Benjamine (1882-1951), Vice President Fred Skinner (1872-1940) and Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth D. Benjamine (1875-1942).(The Church of Light, "Where We Are Located.")〔(''Where We Are Located'' )〕
==Origins==

The Church is the continuation of an initiatic organisation, the Brotherhood of Light, established in the same city in 1915. The Brotherhood of Light lessons were written over a twenty-year period by Elbert Benjamine from 1914 through 1934, and continually revised by him until his death. Benjamine had been invited in 1909 by the leaders of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor (HBofL) in Denver to join them as successor to Minnie Higgin, who had been the order’s astrologer until her death that year.〔"Elbert Benjamine", ''Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology,'' 5th ed. (Detroit: Gale, 2000.)〕 The surviving Council members proposed to Benjamine that he rewrite the order’s teachings in a systematic form as the basis for a new organization that would “bring occultism to the life of ordinary people.”〔Horowitz, Mitch, ''Occult America'' (New York: Bantam, 2009), 217〕 This change was inspired by orders from Max Theon to close the HBofL following the death of his wife the previous year.〔Godwin, Chanel, and Deveney, eds., ''The Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor''. (York Beach, ME: Samuel Weiser, 1995), 39.〕 After five years of preparation and study, Elbert Benjamine came to Los Angeles in 1915 and began to hold meetings. “At that point it still operated as a secret society. On November 11, 1918, the Brotherhood of Light opened its doors to the public, offering classes and a home-study course.”〔Gibson, Christopher, "The Religion of the Stars: The Hermetic Philosophy of C.C. Zain,''Gnosis Magazine'', Winter 1996,61.〕 The 1932 reorganization as The Church of Light was a response to ordinances passed that year by Los Angeles County “prohibiting both the teaching and practice of astrology.”〔Gibson, Christopher, "The Religion of the Stars: The Hermetic Philosophy of C.C. Zain",''Gnosis Magazine'', Winter 1996, 63.〕
