Saints

The Ecclesia teaches that
there is one God and that all good things are his reflection.  He lives in a perfect world.  This belief system is the core of the
Ecclesia, but many interpretations of this doctrine exist.  The original monastic orders claim that there
is only one god (the Godhead) and that no other gods exist beside him.  The Orthodox Ecclesia teaches that the
godhead is the one god and that he manifests himself in emanations.  These emanations act as his messengers and
voice.  Some are angelic beings while
others become mortals and dwell in the world. These are known as Saints.  The majority of Saints are people who
achieved something that was said to bbe a glimpse of the True World.  The greatest of these are he who was the
incarnation of the True God himself.

Saints serve as
embodiments of achievement and allow the worshipper to humanize their
unreachable and unknowable God.  Though
this is not supported officially by the Ecclesia, the Saints are worshipped and
prayed to.  In recent years, the Saint
Cults have become an endemic part of Ecclesian worship.
