Robert Geyer
Robert Hermann Geyer (born April 8, 1874 in Weida ; † October 9, 1957 in Camburg ) was an apostle of the General Christian Apostolic Mission and Archbishop of the "General Apostolic Church Fellowship" ordained by Gallican .
Apostolic clergyman
Geyer joined the New Apostolic congregation in Greiz in 1894 and was sealed at Pentecost by Apostle Friedrich Krebs . Four weeks later he was given the office of subdeacon , and at Easter 1895 the deacon . On May 28, 1895, he resigned from the Evangelical Church and was prophetically called to a priest on November 7th in Leipzig and presumably ordained on December 8th.
During his studies in veterinary medicine in Dresden , as a priest, he looked after a congregation he had gathered. In 1897 he broke off his studies and left Dresden for Jena. There he turned away from the Apostolic Congregation, since Cancer had "through his favorites" spread the teaching that "he was revealed to Christ in the flesh".
In 1898 Geyer joined the Old Apostolic Congregation (AAG) and its Apostle Friedrich Strube in Stapelburg in the Harz Mountains . Before April 1900 Geyer was called there to be "Evangelist in the tribe of Benjamin".
In 1909 he came into contact with the General Christian Apostolic Mission (AcaM) founded by Heinrich Geyer , he joined it with a large number of the members of the AAG .
On October 12, 1913, Geyer was prophetically appointed apostle for America by the priest of the prophets Jacob Westphaln in Hamburg;
Vagant Bishop and High Church Movement
On May 10, 1925, he was ordained a deacon and priest by the Gallican Archbishop Louis François Giraud (via Joseph René Vilatte in the apostolic succession of the Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch) in a Stuttgart Methodist church, who consecrated him on August 25 in Bern to Archbishop Barnabas.
Through the Protestant pastor Karl Eugen Herzog, Geyer came into contact with high church circles, in particular with the Swiss Diaconal Association (SDV) in Rüschlikon under Gotthilf Haug and Jakob Schelker and the "Brotherhood of Common Life". In these groups Geyer later carried out both apostolic ordinations and episcopal ordinations.
