While it has been overshadowed by the unfortunate events of the last day (and by people trying to turn it into a sectarian conflict before the bodies were cold), I do have some happier news I want to share.

I will be made a lay server in Ecclesia Gnostica on June 26. This will mark my formal entry into the lower orders and, with luck, my eventual entry into the priesthood.

It saddens me that this comes at such a turbulent time but I see it as a challenge to remain steadfast to the plan that has been led so easily before me; the light yoke is often harder to take because it seems too light at times.
