Encyclopedia of the Convergence AKA The Temple The Temple, with the help of sympathetic scientists, is the organization which gave the D-Gate technology to the Bolivarian Alliance on Earth and established The Temple of New Life, their sister church. Religious Beliefs The Temple’s beliefs are gnostic in nature. The structure is a hierarchical matriarchy, with a pseudo-priest class, called the Order of Sofia.
