Preacher Rituals Eclipse

Usage Within the Church

The Church allows for many different varying rituals that all encompass the same general belief and feelings. However, if they were to have some uniformity, it would have to be in their practicing of the different virtues. Different Preachers from those on old, recycled ships like the CEV Eris to the ones in the beautiful halls of New Rome use these rituals in some right. They are used for their ability to both deliver propaganda, instate feelings into other Christians, and utilizing powerful group prayers from the bible.

The rituals are often done weekly in giant places such as New Rome and daily in smaller places and aboard vessels. The goal is always to wear the face of the Virtue and keep yourself pure and free of sin through it.

Utilizing the Rituals

To utilize the rituals well, you will need to think of some words and lessons on the fly. The rituals below are templates for what you can do for practicing a virtue, however they are not absolute and you can always try to make your own, if creative enough. These should be tools for Christian roleplay, and should also be a gateway for teaching Acolytes the basics of being a Preacher if you want to teach one icly for any reason.
