Church of Humanity/Hierarchy

Hierarchy Information

The Church of Humanity is based on democratic ideals where each member has a voice which he/she may use. We rely upon the guidance of the council of elders, which is made up of the founder/prophet and all high priests.

The purpose of the hierarchy isn't to obtain privilege and prestige, rather to help you make your spiritual journey and create a sense of belonging within the Church. In fact, the Elder's would be happy to promote everyone to the highest rank but for the fact that something not earnt is rarely treasurered. Hence, each rank has value and meaning associated with it and to rise through the hierarchy, you must have patience and be devoted to the church.

Demotions do not occur except for serious offences, and can only be done through majority vote of all members ranking Knight or higher. This promotes a sense of security and community among the Knights of Humanity.
