Sanctity movement

The Sanctity movement is a branch of Amendantism which arose between 1550 and 1560 in Ebrary and primarily operates as a distinct tradition but has also had great influences on subgroups of Christenism and Ebraricism. The Sanctity movement emphasizes the practice of three stage lay-hesychasm in order to experience God. These stages are purification, illumination, and sanctification (deification). Followers of the Sanctity movement believe these three steps must be followed to achieve salvation, and also believe that God desires to save all yet allows individuals to resist the grace offered by God. The various branches of the movement generally are governed by councils of elders who select priests and preserve succession.
