Yesterday the General Synod of Ei’Uloqhin gathers in Kʂɑɑl’niɠol for its quinquennial
meeting, a group of reformist delegates has proposed an ordinance that would allow both men and women to serve as clerics. The proposal has significant support among Ei’Uloqhin’s more progressive adherents, but there is a strong opposition movement. The debate was so fierce that the Priests called upon Kɑlɑɑnkɑl Tfir, Hwafɛʂ, the One-eye, Chosen of the Creator, Blade of ɑɑɠi and second son of Arjaka to choose a side and end the Schism that has begun to take root in the church. Traditionally Men and Women are equals in Ei’Uloqhin but women were always revered and placed on a spot slightly above men because of their ability to create and nurture life, and because of that Women were widely considered more pure than Men, several reformists sought to change this. After the positions of both sides of the clergy are as such.
In favor of reform:
“The times are changing, and Ei’Uloqhin needs to change with them,” remarks progressive reformist leader Inka |ua, bringing out a copy of the Sacred Scriptures. “The Almighty said, ‘I shall make human beings in our image and likeness.’ And so they were created, male and female ɛʂwɑlɑ created them.” He turns his head up from the text and looks you right in the eyes. “We’re all made equal, Kɑlɑɑnkɑl tfir. That the clergy hierarchy has blocked change for so long is an injustice. We must insist that they permit ordination of both women and men. You know deep down in your soul that it’s the right thing to do.”
Against reform:
“The right thing to do, really?” rebuts Faloki Takameh, president of the Traditionalist League of Ei’Uloqhin. “For ages, our clergy has been just how it is now. This proposed change has nothing to do with doctrine and everything to do with the creep of secular values into Ei’Uloqhin.” She takes a deep breath and continues. “Women and men, you see, were both created in the divine image and were created as equals, yes. But the Almighty made us for different, complementary roles. The sexes were not, are not, and never will be interchangeable, and Ei’Uloqhin should acknowledge this eternal truth by rejecting this heretical proposal.”
After hearing both sides of the Debate the Kɑlɑɑnkɑl stepped out of the chamber and took a walk through the Imperial gardens thinking it over, and on his return pushed for the referendum of the faith allowing men into the clergy of Ei’Uloqhin.
Kɑlɑɑnkɑl Tfir to marry (finally)
In further news, Earlier today Kɑlɑɑnkɑl Tfir proposed to Lady Kirino of LMI, ruler of the LMI controlled Kzarian city making her the first foreigner to be given the title kalissikal, also making her the third and final head of state of the new Anarcho-Monarchical government form of Kzaria. truly this is a huge step in Kzarian history having both the first Kqal title being given to a foreigner and having a non-Kzarian-born as head of state in the same day. Many concerns have been voiced about the wisdom of this action, saying that a foreign leader will bring in foreign ideals that clash with Kzarian religious values and forward a foreign agenda. While on the opposite side of the spectrum applaud the message they claim Tfir seems to be sending and his effort to break the Xenophobic culture of Kzaria which is full of Kʂɑɑl-Superiority. But one thing is certain, Succession to the Title of Kɑlɑɑnkɑl is secure.
