143.3 The Priest as an living instrument of power  
  By the very definition of the role, the Priest is the purest form of teacher and guide. It is for the value of the message and the discourse of knowledge. It is not for the closing or entrapment of mind, but the freeing of the chains that make us believe we are less.  
  The Priest embodies the very covenant of this Covenant and as such each Priest represents in themselves and their role an instrument of power- a living embodiment of this Covenant.  
143.4 Protocols and standards of the Office of Priest  
  By this Covenant, the Supreme Council of One-Faith-Of-God are authorized to forge a formal set of protocols and standards regarding the Office of Priest which relates to the detailed definition and requirements of operational procedure and function necessitated by such office.  
  These standards themselves must embody and be consistent with the specific articles of this Covenant and in turn must be approved by a vote of the Supreme Council of One-Faith-Of-God.
