Book II: On the Church

Every great being requires at least one chronicler and interpreter. The same goes for the greatest of beings, the One God. The church is His scribe. It is this establishment's duty to organize and provide to the masses the wishes, Laws, and lessons of God. Further, they are to record the deeds of noteworthy servants of the One, to be used as examples for the people. So, as members and appendages of this institution, it is our duty to bring to the non-believers the word of God.

The Church might be viewed as the corporeal representation of the Lord. As His Eyes they watch and record our realm for Him. As His Voice they deliver His messages and proclomations to the people. As His Hands they deliver punishments and praise to those deserving. We, the servants of God and the Church should be counted lucky to so give our Lord's will in this world.

Proclomations from the Church should be strictly adhered to by all, for it must be God delivering such proclomations for the protection of His flock. Now, as humans, the Church and it's papacy are open to corruption and perversion of it's divine status. Difficult, to be sure, but possible. It would be wise to view everything in a skeptical nature, to be sure; however one should regardless follow it's rule unless it's proven the work of corrupt persons or is blatantly opposed to the commonly known want of our Shepherd.

As vassals of the Church, it is our duty to serve it in all things (unless maledictions aforementioned should occur) and in so doing further our service to God. In consciousness and sleep we are meditating on how best to serve God. In pledging ourselves to the Church, we devote the entirety of our mind, body, and soul to the One God. That obligation should consume us.

Becoming a vassal of this illustrious establishment is open to all of those inclined to the good path. All you need do is open yourself to Him before all others - but be resolved, for it is a commitment you cannot drop lightly. Churchmen are expected to be kind, gentle, and merciful to all - even those of evil nature and those who wish you harm. You are a role-model, and the apex embodiment of Faith in Aabahran.

For now, that shall suffice, and later volumes will elaborate. Take this essay and spread the light of the One and His Church to the darkness of our world.
