Canon 15: The Stricture of Hierarchy

So now the Church of Westrun and all Erenth shall be constituted as follows. For we desire that our flocks shall be together as one and not confused with the now discredited way of our shameful past.

In order that our way is not lost again to the mists of time, here are the rulings of all the priests in unanimity with one another and with Gamasiel our chief priest. This mandate shall be binding on all our successors forevermore.

1. Let our flocks be gathered into one sphere -- the faithful people themselves.
2. Let them be protected by the Holy Knighthood.
3. Let them be served by the Holy Brothers and the Sacred Sisters.
4. Let them be guided by the Shepherds.
5. Let the Shepherds be ruled by the noble Prefects.
6. Let the Prefects be obedient to the High Priest himself.
7. May the Patriarch be guided by the Worthy men and women who have gone before.

"As the stars obey their courses, so must each light obey the greater."

These are the Strictures of Gamasiel. These are written after the Ten Signs were given and the path was made plain. For many holy men of the old way fought with him and his fellow shepherds, but failed. So then their priesthood was thrown down and their Temples were swept clean.

To all who would follow these strictures, is offered the new priesthood of He who was forgotten, but is remembered again.
