Application for Correllian Third Degree Clergy

ABOUT SERVING AS CLERGY:
T

AS A MEMBER OF THE CORRELLIAN CLERGY YOU ARE EXPECTED TO:

HONOR Deity always, both as Goddess and as God. Revere the sacred spark of life which is within you and within all things. Revere also the sacred dance of life which is manifest as the physical world.

HONOR the Earth, Nature, and Her processes. All life is sacred, and the entire Universe is one Being, Whose soul is Gaia. All which exists is eternally and inseparably connected through the Spirit of the Goddess and the Dance of the God.

HONOR the Divinity within you. Do not pollute your sacredness with hatred, nor with falsehood. Be honorable, fair, and truthful in all things. Strive always to act from your Higher Self, in Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.

HONOR the Divinity within others. We are all sacred, all manifestations of Deity. Therefore follow always the Wiccan Rede: “Do as you will, but harm none.”

HONOR your Tradition. You are an initiate of the Correllian Tradition –honor it and respect its tenets. The Tradition is a family, bound by love and honor -uphold and defend it always, even as the Tradition supports you. 
HONOR your fellow Correllian Clergy -remember that they have worked hard for their status, just as you have for yours. Show them always the respect to which Correllian Clergy are entitled. Honor the Elders of the Tradition and the leadership of the Tradition -remember that they have spent many years working for the good of the Tradition and the advancement of Pagans everywhere.

HONOR your fellow Pagans. Remember always: A Pagan is a Pagan. Our faith comes down to us through many cultures and Traditions. We are as a thousand mirrors reflecting the image of Deity from a thousand angles. We have many differences, yet we must never let these stand between us, but embrace one another as a single people. Remember that your fellow Pagans, whatever their background, are on a spiritual path just as you are. Remember that your fellow Pagan Clergy, though their training and views may be different, have worked just as hard for their rank, and believe just as deeply in the tenets of their Traditions, as you yourself. Therefore, while you may sometimes disagree or come into conflict with other Clergy, you should always show them the same civility and respect that you expect to receive yourself.
