The Order
Membership
The inner work begins with inquiry, conversation, and discernment.
Membership in the Order begins by approaching the outer door, learning what the Order is, asking honest questions, and discerning whether the work is truly theirs to undertake.
What Membership Means
Membership means entering a relationship with the Order’s teachings, practices, standards, and community. It may include study, devotional work, participation in fellowship, service, mentorship, and eventual recognition through degrees or offices where appropriate.
Responsibility Before Recognition
The Order treats degrees, offices, ordination recognition, and chapter authority as responsibilities. Recognition follows formation, service, and demonstrated readiness.
The Five Points
Members are expected to carry the Five Points of Fellowship: Love, Trust, Discipline, Integrity, and Fulfillment. Initiated members are held accountable to these points as ethical standards.
Recognition and Responsibility
The Order recognizes stages of growth, service, and responsibility. Degrees and offices name formation, accountability, and readiness to serve.
How Membership Begins
A seeker begins by approaching the outer door, reading the public material, asking honest questions, and submitting an inquiry when ready. The next step is conversation and discernment before access to the inner curriculum.
