Title
Brass Bishop's Crozier
Description
This brass bishop's crozier served as the pastoral staff of Archbishop Robert Mary Clement throughout his episcopal ministry in the Church of the Beloved Disciple. Carried during pontifical liturgies, ordinations, sacred processions, and public demonstrations, the crozier became one of the most recognizable symbols of the church's apostolic ministry. Its richly ornamented head reflects medieval ecclesiastical craftsmanship while expressing the community's commitment to the continuity of historic Catholic tradition within an affirming ministry to LGBTQ Christians.
