Hierarchy.

Being the recorded structure of the Church, from the source unto the assembly.

1. I.

   Nathan

   The source. The named. He under whom all presiders preside.

2. II.

   Leadership

   Those who keep the chapel, call the Trials, and guard the doctrine in Nathan's absence.

3. III.

   The Twelve

   Twelve seats appointed for those whose voices most shape the rite. The number is fixed; the names are not.

4. IV.

   The Elders

   Those of long attendance, whose counsel is heard in matters of scripture and rite.

5. V.

   The Disciples

   Those who have studied the doctrine, presided over Trials, and instruct the newer faithful.

6. VI.

   The Faithful

   All who have entered the chapel and given answer in the assembly. The body of the Church.

Standing in the order is not granted by office but by attendance, presiding, and the recorded judgement of the assembly. The order is read at each Trial, that none may forget.
