VI.   Institution

The word Church is used to define several concepts associated with Religion and Cults including a place of worship, a group of people that attend a place of worship, the service and rituals performed during worship and the aggregate organization of a particular Religion or Cult.

As the word “Church” is deliberately confusing on account of its multiple meanings, the word is not permitted to define either the Institution of a Religion or Cult, nor a division or unit thereof.

The word Church originates in the native Khazarian dialect as “kirk” meaning “light, illumination”. The word was adopted in the 16th Century through the work of the Jesuits and Venetian lords as a means of defining places of worship in honor of the “illuminated one”.

As the concept of a Universal Church or a land mass or country being a “Church” is in direct contradiction with these Canons, such claims and concepts are automatically null and void from the beginning.
