Church of Mekhane

The Church of Mekhane is a sect of the Mechanical Faith which worships mechanization and believes flesh and organic life to be inherently evil or broken. Though the initial founding of their faith is unknown, artefacts related to the church have been recovered from archaeological digs dating back to the Ancient Chorosian City-State Period, coinciding with church dogma asserting that its existence predates the appearance of life on Earth. The central belief of their theology is that their deity has been scattered, destroyed, dispersed or otherwise rendered inert. Through the use of technology, often anomalous Church followers seek to bring together components of the body of God, thereby allowing the divine to take a physical form to utilize and bring about some sort of techno-organic utopia. 
The current leader of the "Church of Mekhane" is a Chorosian-Yorican individual identified as "His Holiness Alexander Diakos, Builder of God", who apparantly gained the title in 246. While this sect continues its efforts to reconstruct their deity, the religion as a whole has at sometime gone through multiple schisms. With the original "The Mechanical Church" dividing into the "Church of Mekhane" and "Church of the Red Leader", and then members from both forming a third reconstructivist faith known as the "Second Mechanical Church" which also had a group separate and form the "Covenant of Wan". 
The Church of Mekhane has several international diplomatic ties, including its membership in the United Occult Initiative and its predecessors in the SDL Coalition. Addionally the Church of Mekhane has good ties with the CIS and several of its members and departments such as Polsk and DCAE.
