This is already a great honor in Qingshi Town, and in the few days since the news broke, the threshold of Qimeng Bun Shop has been broken early, and people want to come and rub some blessings. This situation is not uncommon in Qingshi Town, and almost everyone who successfully joins Taoism receives this treatment, which also makes them feel more belonging to Taoism.
No, the first plenary meeting of Taoism was about to be held, and Qimeng got up early in the morning to take care of himself. After examining every detail of himself no less than ten times, Chimon walked towards the square outside the church.
I saw colorful flags fluttering around the square, and a bright banner hung high in front of the church gate, with a dazzling row of large characters on it.
"The First Formal Assembly of All Members of Taoism"
In the middle of the plaza was a black head, and it turned out that there were already many members waiting in the area divided by department before Qimeng.
Chimon was slightly shocked that these members had come earlier than him, but he quickly found a position with a decent view in the area of the gospel center, waiting for the conference to be held.
Time passed quickly, the bell on the Xuandao Cathedral rang, and Rhodes and his party walked out of the main entrance of the church and came under the banner.
"Dear devout Dao Ancestor believers, good afternoon!"
Rod stepped forward, slightly using the fighting energy in his body, and made a loud sound. Looking at the believers in the square with flames flashing in their eyes, Rhodes was extremely relieved.
"Hello Bishop!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
"Everyone can stand here, as an official member of Taoism, everyone must have gone through a rigorous assessment, I want to say to you, everyone has worked hard!"
Rhodes couldn't help but think of the classic quotes of the leaders of the earth, and his mouth also came out with them.
"Don't work hard, serve Taoism! Serve Taoism!"
Hearing the bishop's condolences, everyone only felt warm in their hearts, but the cry in their mouths became louder.
"Okay, no more nonsense. ”
Rod's right palm was raised slightly, and he said word by word in his mouth,
"I announce that the first official meeting of all members of Taoism begins!"
The stage instantly remembered thunderous applause.
"First of all, the first item of the convention, the awarding of denominational badges. ”
Rod pressed his hands slightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said slowly,
"The sect badge symbolizes your status, symbolizes your faith, and I don't think I need to explain its importance to you. Let me now begin by awarding badges to the directors of the four departments. ”
The chairman of the board of directors of the six departments is Rhodes himself, and the position of the director of the inquisition has not yet been determined, so now only the other four departments have set the position of director, namely Temo of the Sacrament Institute, Otto of the Gospel Institute, Izeh of the Religious Center, and Arudiba of the Guardian House.
The four of them walked in front of everyone in delicate Taoist uniforms, and accepted the badge from Rhodes with solemn expressions. Although they had already possessed the badge before, it was still an honor for them to receive the badge in front of all the Taoist members, and even Ize's face showed a hint of excitement.
Next came the four directors to award badges to the captains and stewards of the four departments. ”
Rod smiled and pinned the four badges to the chests of Izawa and the others, and turned to the crowd and said.
The subordinates of the guardian are fifteen captains, and the subordinates of the other three departments are all ten stewards, all of whom are elites selected from the assessment.
The captain and stewards walked out of the crowd and stood in unison under the banner, their faces full of pride and pride, and the eyes of the people in the audience full of envy.
"Next is for the captain and steward to award badges to the members of their subordinates. ”
After waiting for the four of Ize to hand out the badges, Rhodes said again.
The captain and stewards returned to the crowd and pinned their badges to the members of their subordinates one by one, and at this moment, the square was extremely quiet, and everyone quietly accepted the glory.
Soon, all the badges were awarded.
The second item of the conference is to declare the eight honors and eight shames of Taoism. ”
Rod looked around and said slowly,
"Be proud of loving Taoism and be ashamed of harming Taoism.
Be proud to serve the people and be ashamed to turn your back on the people.
Be proud of upholding righteousness and be ashamed of falling into evil.
Be proud of hard work and be ashamed of your good and bad work.
Be proud of solidarity and mutual assistance, and be ashamed of harming others and benefiting yourself.
Be proud of honesty and trustworthiness, and be ashamed of forgetting righteousness for profit.
Be proud of abiding by the law and be ashamed of violating the law.
Be proud of hard work and be ashamed of arrogance and luxury. ”
Every time they say a word, everyone in the audience will shout along with it, and the eight honors and eight shames are firmly imprinted in their minds, perhaps they don't know that these eight honors and eight shames will be called the mainland honor and disgrace concept that transcends time and space by later generations.
"In the third item of the conference, the Taoist canons are read by the sacrament of Timoth. ”
Rhodes was satisfied with everyone's reaction, and paused for a moment before speaking again.
Timo stepped forward with a heavy canon in his hand, slowly opened the title page, and read it to the crowd:
"The first is to sincerely believe in the Taoist ancestors.
Article 2 ............"
There are a total of thirty canons in Taoism, which can be said to be very small compared with the canons of other sects that have hundreds or even thousands of canons at every turn, but these are all condensed by Rhodes with reference to the canons of Christianity, Catholicism and other sects on the earth.
Although there are few, each of them is extremely important, and it is sufficient to bind believers. Of course, in these canons, Rhodes also made some modifications, such as abstinence, Taoism should not break up couples who truly love each other, but should offer heartfelt blessings.
This made many members smile, after all, no one likes to suppress their desires. Besides, abstinence does not necessarily lead to good results, Buddhism and Taoism do not know how many flower monks and lewd Taoists, and the Western Church has even appeared in the perverted behavior of training **. Therefore, it is better to block than to sparse, and simple repression will not work.
Of course, there are also some selfishness of Rode, he doesn't want to be a single aristocratic dog in another world.
"The fourth item of the conference announced the next tasks of the four major departments. ”
After the canons were read, Timo stepped back, and then Rhodes spoke again, telling each member of the team about the next tasks and directions for each department, so that they could quickly determine their positions and goals.
After a whole set of processes, it took half a day's effort, but everyone was not tired at all, and their faces were full of energy.
Rod looked at each member with a smile, their faces were so cute, inhaled slightly, and only heard a loud voice sound,
"Okay, I announce that the first official meeting of all members of Taoism is over!"
