The Golden Hand of Charity
Structure
The Golden Hand of Charity is non-hierarchical. Rather, one studies until they feel equipped to minister to others. They find two ordained priests who examine them. If their exam is satisfactory, the two priests ordain them and they become priests.
Matters of doctrine that require settlement are handled in local convocations and all priests are equals.
Public Agenda
The Golden Hand of Charity has two missions. First, they are to extend as much love and charity into the world as they are able. This may be in the form of education, assistance with housing, assistance with farming, healing, care for the indigent, care for the disabled, and so on.
Their second mission is to spread the Word of Brotherhood, the teachings of the prophet Aldocept, whom they believe spoke with the Voice of Proim.
Assets
Due to its non-hierarchical nature, the Golden Hand of Charity has no grand temples, but smaller shrines exist in most communities of any significant size. Some shrines are attended by priests, while others are simple worship spaces that are maintained regularly by itinerant priests.
