Editing Monastic Order of Avallon (section)

==Doctrine==
The Order operates independently of the [[Celtic Church]], but according to its founder monks, the apostolic lineage has nonetheless been granted, as a charismatic individual, by Celtic Bishop Michel Raoult Iltud. The Order has therefore a dual affiliation: [[Eastern Orthodox|Orthodox Christian]] and [[neo-druidism]]. The group says it is neither religious nor ecclesiastical and aims primarily at young people. Its statutes state that the order is "monastical in the etymological meaning of the word which means that everyone must take care of himself".<ref>Jean-Pierre Van Girt, ''La France aux cent sectes'', Vauvenargues editions, 1997, p. 279 ({{ISBN|2-7443-0049-7}})</ref> In the order, a member starts as simple monk, then becomes elder, under the leadership of an abbot.<ref>Jean-Pierre Bayard, ''Guide sur les sectes et les sociétés secrètes'', Philippe Lebaud editions, 2004, p. 55 ({{ISBN|2-84898-039-7}})</ref>
