The Sophia Circle Family is a non-prescriptive gathering of individuals subscribing to the esoteric Christian tradition

The Sophia Circle of Bishops is a platform within the Sophia Circle Family for bishops consecrated in the Apostolic Succession who hold an esoteric view on Christianity.  Each bishop may belong to some or other church organisation or be independent. However, each of these bishops is regarded as operating autonomously and is not bound in any way to any dogma, doctrine or practice. Intercommunion or agreement between bishops or the organisations to which they belong is neither essential nor required. The Sophia Circle of Bishops is primarily a non-prescriptive circle of sharing and helping one another without necessarily having to agree with the particular practice of any of the bishop members.

Membership to the circle is open to all bishops who are able to show that they have been consecrated into the Apostolic Succession and who agree with the general outline provided in the paragraph above. Most of the bishops currently active within this circle have obtained their succession via Bishop J.I. Wedgwood and the Liberal Catholic Church. Membership is however not restricted to this particular line of succession. The circle is an open forum. Bishops are therefore also free to leave at any moment in time, without any obligation to provide reasons.

The following bishops (in alphabetical order) are currently members of the Sophia Circle:
