THE SECOND CONCLAVE BULL Addressed to the Clergy and Laymen of the Unionist Divine From the Seat of the Conclave, the Chapel of the Guiding Star Our Joyous Hearts speak unto you... HIS DIVINE, Aelfric Harhold High Reverend Emeritus Manfried II, Sancellist Reverend of the Unionist Divine in Anglia and the Regalian Capital, Ordained servant of the Imperial Spirit and His faithful, salutation and Imperial benediction. PROCLAIMING IN PEACE AND COMMUNION SANCTIONED BY THE CONCLAVE TO ALL WHO READ THIS LETTER GRACE, MERCY AND PEACE ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ SECTION I - Exhortation SECTION II - Thanks to the Alms Ministry SECTION III - On the Reconstruction of the Cathedral SECTION IV - The Expansion of the Holy Lexicon SECTION V - On Donations to the Holy Conclave ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ The Grand Cathedral of Regalia, 306 AC SECTION I As we continue to set out to foreign shores and heed the Spirit’s command to bring unto all lands His faith, it is the Unionist ideals and belief which we must keep close to heart so as to ensure our goal is not muddled by temporal and worldly want but instead, the furthering of our spiritual mission; raising the Holy Spirit above all things and ensuring that all know His name and His word so as to be imparted salvation. It is this which must and must always be our goal in war for our victories must not be for us but for the Spirit Himself. For the conquering of new lands can be for no man and yet be just; only in the Spirit may it be ordained virtuous and may the fruits of our labors grow tenfold with His blessing. That is what I call you to do now and what I call you to do years from now. It is the expansion of our domain that is encouraged by the Holy Spirit, but it is Him that we must forever remember in our actions of which He promotes; for it is only through the faith that they are virtuous but in the absence of it that they are things of man. SECTION II We weeped at the sight of the city’s beloved Church being burned and desecrated by those forces which wish to tear the one true faith at the seams. However, in truth, there is one thing that the enemy shall never have and that is eternal faith; eternal hope, love, and the striving to move forward. It is the Holy Spirit who calls us to forever move forward; forever tread this path with faith and devotion. With the help of the Alms Ministry, we have been permitted to do that and to them, we offer our eternal thanks. There work on the grounds of the Church; to procure a new tree for it’s gardens, repair those gravestones damaged and clean up the shamble of which the enemies have wrought; it is an invaluable thing and from the bottom of our hearts, we pray for the furthering of the Alms Ministry’s mission as they set out to do the Spirit’s work. May they be blessed with longevity in their office and may the city be better for it. SECTION III In the same vein as the Church of the Lady Salvation, we too bring focus to the Grand Cathedral’s reconstruction. Our most beloved Cathedral had it’s fore destroyed by the defeated daemons who sought to crush under their wretched feet the Holy Empire. Yet, as a symbol of the Regalian victory in the matter, the Cathedral is being repaired. Scaffolding currently lines the facade of the Sancellist Cathedral which has remained for centuries at the heart of the Empire, stretching throughout it’s Spirit ordained tenure as the heart of the world itself. It is this Cathedral which now recovers from these injuries inflicted upon it, just as the Empire has and so, our hearts are joyous at the sight; a great thing which symbolizes Regalian triumph in the face of the Spirit’s enemies. SECTION IV As discussed during the most recent Diet of the Holy Conclave, the Holy Lexicon of the Church (the document which contains all races recognized by the Unionist Divine) is currently terribly outdated as the Unionist Divine sails ahead in a world of ever constant developments. While tradition shall be maintained and no place of any race shall be altered in such a lexicon, the time calls for an expansion of the document, of which we give our imprimatur and call to the greater body of the Unionist Divine to begin work on for the betterment of the faithful. SECTION V It has been over a year and our bank remains empty, something we wish to rectify so as to allow our mission to move forth at a speed tenfold. We encourage donations now to the coffers of this clerical Diet so that we may continue our efforts to spread the Unionist word and better the situation of those who find themselves devoted to the Unionist Creeds. Any with available funds are encouraged by the Holy Conclave to donate such regals to the bank of the Unionist Divine, for it is any institution without funds which cannot function.
