XI. Procedures
  
  Article 122 - Cleansing  
122.1 The sacrament of cleansing  
  By the power of this Covenant, the blessed sacrament of cleansing shall be formed, with the power to heal both victim and assailant, to help those who have suffered to forgive and those that have wronged to receive forgiveness.  
122.2 Authority to perform the Act of cleansing  
  Only a registered man or woman of such institutions as One-Spirit-tribe, One-Islam or One-Faith-Of-God shall be permitted to perform the act of cleansing. This is because only a man or woman who has clear moral integrity and representation of the universal spirit may best serve as the conduit of grace during the ceremony.  
122.3 Mandatory valid elements of a cleansing ceremony  
  By this Covenant, the following elements shall be mandatory for a cleansing ceremony to be considered valid and to therefore enact the support and services of One Heaven:  
  (i) That the disclosure of details by the candidate (for cleansing) during the ceremony of cleansing shall be kept confidential and sacred and that the details of what is disclosed shall never be disclosed by the licensed celebrant, no matter what threat, legal summons, or force is applied. This confidentiality is immutable and must never be broken.  
  (ii) That the candidate professes their desire to be cleansed of their sins against other beings. That they do so, conscious of the pain they have caused and are committed to reform and a period of penance; or the candidate professes their desire to be cleansed of their pain and suffering from the hurt of others and are willing to forgive and heal themselves.  
  (iii) That the candidate speaks the truth of the event. Only when an event is recalled truthfully can the chain of sorrow be broken.  
  (iv) That the candidate speaks a prayer of forgiveness, if they are the instigator of sorrow, or a prayer of healing if they are the victim.  
  (v) That a private penance is agreed by the candidate. That the penance befits the sorrow or acts of sadness. That this penance is consistent with the intention of this Covenant;  
  (vi) That a formal blessing is bestowed upon the candidate and the prayer of cleansing is spoken by the celebrant.  
122.4 The action of grace in support  
  Where a man or woman has successfully undertaken a cleansing ceremony, by this Covenant, it shall be the responsibility of Prayer Support Systems, Guardian Systems and Inspiration Systems to provide immediate and tangible support for a period not exceeding seven (7) days.  
  During that period, where resources permit, the man or woman who has successfully undertaken a cleansing ceremony shall be allocated further and dedicated resources to assist them during the intensity of such personal revelation and healing.  
  At the end of seven (7) Earth days, resources shall return to their normal allocation for that man or woman, unless by special request the individual invokes the request for continued support in formal prayer. If this occurs, the period of grace shall be extended a further fourteen (14) days.
