Mass of Valos

A Mass of Valos will be held Friday night of the August Baronial Feast in Pendarvin shortly after the opening remarks conclude. All Priests of the Light Pantheon are invited to speak as well as those of unaligned gods, though no tangible benefits will accrue to followers of the latter.

The topic of my sermon is "Why we must come together,"

Light snacks will be provided at the conclusion.

As a public service announcement, this notice serves to inform the public that this mass is not aligned with nor condoned by the Church of Light. Edwin Haroldson has been excommunicated and his words are considered heretical by the Church.

((a piece of parchment is tacked to the bottom of the announcement))

Am I incorrect in remembering two nobles ordering you to not perform mass within the proper?
If I am not incorrect, then this announcement would clearly be a violation of those orders.
I do not know much about the gods (nor do I care) But I understand that This Valos is very much about following the law.
If you are disobeying the laws, wouldn't that make you a terrible priest of your god?

V.S.

[This message has been torn down, and a new one has been tacked in its place]

The Knight-Protector of Pendarvin has made a public proclamation. I suggest all involved let this subject be as is, as you would be better off directing your outrage at forces actually trying to harm this world, instead of a disagreeable ex-Priest.

-Hengis

Brothers, Sisters and fellow subjects.

I will attend this Mass, and offer my protection to Pendarvin to ensure that wisdom and the good word of Valos is all that is shared.


Consider this:
A man unrecognized or unknown to the church in his own home may give sermon to his family, and share the faith of the Light with his neighbors. Edwin Haroldsson should be forgiven, and allowed to preach, when he is invited, as he has been by Protector Ardin Silverbow.

I expect, as we all should, that this will be a topic of some debate. I believe we should all meet with courage and patience to let words be exchanged, but not blows.

I would encourage all of my brothers and sisters in the Light to attend this so we may discuss openly our feelings, as friends. Friends and family often disagree, and tempers and passions may flare, but that is a part of Justice, and Truth and Healing. Which must be done in the open, so that none may doubt our love and devotion to one another, despite these feeble disagreements.

Keep in mind: While we fret about old, Father Haroldsson , there are Dark Clergy, converting the people every day, parents are branding their children, defiling each other to receive favors and power from Dark Gods.

So let us meet, let us talk, let us even vent our anger at each other, but as friends and family, who care.

We must not abandon each other, and we must not abandon the people of Pendarvin, else it will become a haven for Darkness to creep in.

If you love me, or despise me, I care not, but please let wisdom prevail.

Mr. Belfast, I like you more every day. May we chat some time this coming Feast?
