Love's
Pledge
This
is the rank that people receive when they apply to join
the temple. They have no real duties other than to learn
about the temple. At this level the Pledge will be given
a quest to complete on behalf of the temple. This rank
will NOT receive this charter as they are not yet IN the
temple. This rank will last at least one OOC week during
which time they will complete a quest and pass any
needed final interviews.
Seeker
of Love
The
primary role of this rank is to form a personal, intimate
understanding of Love. Those in this rank should begin
actively sharing their love with those in the temple and
the land. This is the first rank IN the temple. This rank
will receive a golden locket so they may have full access
to the temple grounds.
Brother/Sister
of Love
Those
in this rank should have a working understanding of Love,
having shown it in the land and the temple. A greater
level of Love can be learned and expressed through
joining temple Councils teaching those who express
interest in the temple, and by finding and sponsoring
hopeful temple members. This rank and above may begin
doing interviews PROVIDED they have taken the primary
interview class.
Heart
of Love
This
rank carries the same responsibilities as the previous
rank but at a greater responsibility level. This rank
will also hold the responsibility of answering questions
set forth by Love Pledges. By this rank all should be
involved in one of the councils and attending events
regularly.
Spirit
of Love
Those
in this rank have shown a greater understanding of Love
through work in the temple with sponsoring and teaching
member hopefuls. They have shown a greater desire for
more responsibility, which can be gained through Council
involvement and by learning to teach and mentor new
temple members. They should still be teaching and
sponsoring temple hopefuls, as well.
Essence
of Love
This
rank carries much the same responsibilities as the Spirit
rank. Those in this rank are expected to be regularly
planning events, working with new members, recruiting,
and sponsoring temple hopefuls. They will also be
learning to teach those in the lower ranks to teach,
sponsor and guide temple hopefuls. Those in this rank
will now begin to interview potential temple members who
have been sponsored. You will also be expected to be
available to do secondary interviews when called upon.
Priest/Priestess
of Love
This
is the first of the managerial ranks. Their major roles
will be as facilitators of the councils, interviews of
sponsored temple hopefuls, and looking for those who may
have earned temple promotions, in addition to those
responsibilities of those ranks below theirs. Those of
this rank will also be eligible to begin training of the
love ceremonies, and eventually perform them.
Arch
Priest/Arch Priestess of Love
These
are the advisors to the Masters. Their primary roles will
be to look for those deserving promotions, motivate those
who have become bored or counter productive, and help to
facilitate new temple policies and activities. This rank
should be performing love ceremonies and training
Priests/Priestesses. One representative of each branch in
this rank will sit on the High Council.
Elder of
Love
This
rank is, in a sense, above Arch Priest/Priestess, yet
below Master/Mistress/Matron. They are the retired
Masters, Mistresses, Matrons, Patriarch, and Matriarchs
who have been in their position for at least three OOC
months. They should be leading councils and teaching
classes. Responsibilities also include those of every
rank below them. This rank will be for those who have
shown great dedication to the temple and have
accomplished as much as they possibly can. Although they
are retired, they are still expected to participate and
train and interview when needed. All elders sit on the
High Council.
Master/Mistress/Matron
of Love
These
are the mortal leaders of each branch. They manage their
areas and are considered the "expert" in their
area. They have the responsibility of maintaining and
trying to carry out new temple ideas. One of them will
always be present at secondary interviews and they
will all be invested in training others based on their
individual strength. They all sit on the High Council.
This rank can perform final interviews.
Patriarch/Matriarch
of Love
This
is the mortal leader(s) of the temple. This is a very
demanding job, since they oversee the entire temple and
are a final outlet of every previous duty. They represent
all Love. This rank can perform final interviews. They
basically run the temple and the High Council. They set
up meetings, oversee the other councils, and work with
the Masters in their various branches.
