The Holy Order of MANS was a religious order grounded in what it viewed as the esoteric teachings of "The Great Christ" through "The Master Jesus", which identifies it as New Age. The order was founded in the 1960s "in the culturally innovative milieu of San Francisco", US, and over time grew into a more traditional Eastern Orthodox sect, finally renaming itself "Christ the Savior Brotherhood" (CSB); according to religious scholars, the group provides a "paradigmatic example" of the kind of development that such groups experienced.
