As there is a very informal structure it is Members who lead at meditations, services and times for study. These can be through video links, retreats and sharing in Members’ homes in various locations in the United Kingdom, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
The Order of the Cross was founded in 1904. The founder of this informal Fellowship, John Todd Ferrier, brought through a recovered Message of Love, Peace, Joy and Hope using the spoken and written word. The Teachings contained in the Message are universal in their scope, revealing the oneness of life and the unity of all religious aspirations. They show that many of the Christian teachings are 
mystical and allegorical in nature.
Members have all been inspired by the writings of the Founder, John Todd Ferrier and the main purpose of the Fellowship 
is to offer support and encouragement to all who would embrace its Aims and Ideals.
The Fellowship seeks to achieve this purpose through:
Meditations, and meetings where the writings of John Todd Ferrier 
are read and studied in an atmosphere conducive to spiritual aspiration and healing.
As there is a very informal structure it is members who minister at meditations and who lead times for the study and greater understanding of the Teachings. These are usually in members’ homes in various locations in the United Kingdom, North America and Australasia.
"The family gatherings in late July are always full of fun and joy for our children and a great time to see our friends, join in the creative activities and generally just ‘chill’! It is also a great opportunity for enquirers to meditate and study the Message in an atmosphere of informal fellowship.. "
