How to Serve the Church

[Gnomistry 1115]

How to Serve the Church;

Clerics, Soldiers, and Laborers

 

 

“Rejoice Brothers and Sisters, for there are yet faithful!”

 

To join the Church of the Canon and swear one’s life to it is to swear one’s life to not only the Church, but GOD himself. Service to GOD and Church is a great virtue, for a man who forsakes his secular desires and acts only for GOD’s sake truly embodies selflessness and humility.

There are many ways to join the Church and assist in its mission to bring GOD’s peace, mercy, charity and love across the mortal realm. From the farmer to the Knight, no man is exempt from true service to GOD.

 

 

Joining the Clergy

 

 

Joining the Clergy is a vow that can only be released by the High Pontiff himself. There are two sects of the clergy, divided by their individual vows.

 

I. The Priesthood, who are recruited as acolytes and may be promoted to the rank of Bishop. They are an eclectic group whose charge is the spreading of GOD’s word to their flock at their assigned parish.

 

II. The Sisters of Blessed Catherine, an order of sisters whose directive is the management of the education, poorhouses and charities named subsidiary of the Church. Their primary headquarters is located in the Prince-Bishopric of St. Judeberg, at their Abbey.

 

 

Joining the Protectors of the Church

 

 

Since the beginning of the faith men have raised their swords for the sake of GOD, purifying the impure and protecting the exalted and divine. There are several separate ways one may use their skill as a soldier to serve the Mother Church.

 

I. The Order of Saint Lucien, reformed after centuries of inactivity, currently serves as the armed militant wing of the Church of the Canon. Missions which the Order carries out include expeditions into the corrupted wastes of Iblees’ kin, the hunting of heretics/abominations, the safeguarding of the Clergy and its Missionaries, the escorting of Pilgrims to holy-sites, charitable work and to ultimately educate the masses in the word of GOD.

 

II. The Knights of St. Everard, , dedicate their lives for the personal protection of the High Pontiff and the Holy See. Being rewarded with land and renown, they carry out tasks personally called by the High Pontiff.  Joining the Knighthood is a matter entirely between the Pontiff and the individual.

 

Serving the Church as a Layman

 

 

A layman is a person who has not taken oaths as a clergy member. The Church shall always welcome those who seek to serve the Church either temporarily or in a voluntary capacity. The layman can take certain oaths in service to the Church without being bound to clerical or knightly commandment. According to their speciality, Laymen will be assigned different tasks by the Church.

 

I. Laymen may serve the Church by becoming a citizen of the Prince-Bishopric of Saint Judeberg. Being granted all the privileges of residing in the Holy See, they assist the Church in regular labor work like gardening, husbandry, harvesting, grooming, etc.
