Order of the Brothers of All

The Order of the Brothers of All (Selucian: Ordo Fratrum Omnium), also known as the Angelican Friars, the Order of St. Angelicus or the Little Brothers is as mendicant Hosian monastic order. Founded around the turn of the 13th century by Angelicus of Subasium, amidst a revival of Hosian monasticism, the Angelicans are considered to have been the first among the newly-established mendicant orders. Originally, St. Angelicus refused to write a rule beyond the Annunciation as a model for a poor life, but pressed by the Arch-Patriarch, he conceded to writing one. This rule (the Rule of St. Angelicus) is based on a radical interpretation of the Annunciation, seeking to emulate the life of Eliyahu and his first disciples in a life of poverty and brotherly love for all creation (hence the name). Angelican spirituality is based around embracing poverty, humility and respect for creation, and seeks God in one's fellow men. The motto of the order is Pax et Bonum (Peace and Joy), taken from the Annunciation.

One of the most important and popular monastic orders, the Angelican Friars are the oldest among a larger family of orders following the Rule of St. Angelicus. These include the two other orders founded by St. Angelicus, the Order of the Sisters of Poverty for women and the secular Third Order of St. Angelicus. Splits in the order have given rise to the Conventual Order of the Brothers of All and the Order of the Barefoot Brothers, which to various degrees sought to reclaim what they saw as the spirit of St. Angelicus's rule.

Though there are Angelican Friars in all branches of Western Patriarchalism, the orders established by St. Angelicus are considered to have remained in communion with Auroria and therefore belong to the Aurorian Patriarchal Church (although rivals may dispute this claim).
