Snippet #2359824

Zechariah did not catch anything, that day, so he would save the bait for another time. On his way back to the church, he saw Adam, whom he decided to try to ignore. Once at the church, the other clerics were there to begin the after-service meeting. As usual, he kept everyone organized.

"As you may already know, our must be beyond just words. As such, there is much that requires our attention, beginning with the homeless children still wandering about what's left of the city. They need loving individuals who will take them in and treat them as their own." He placed a list of them he found within the week. "Take a good look at the names of these children. We must post up notices for our people to find them before Power and Chaos do, and bring them to this church's orphanage without encountering those brutes. If we succeed, it will be a matter of finding people, Echelon or otherwise, who will adopt them."

The other Head Priest scratched his head and asked, "How do you know they are still alive?"

"All the more reason they must be found, now isn't it?" The Disciple went on with the rest of the list of things to do. "As usual, we have our morning breakfasts to give to help with poverty, mission trips to other tribes so to lend a hand and spread the Word, mediation between those who do not get along, and other duties we normally do. We have more work to do this week than last week, with plenty of requests all over the place for aid and mediation. Gentlemen, we are executing this to-do list, beginning today. Let's get to it. That is all I have to say on that."

Next, he went through what will be discussed next week. "Now, next Saturday we have to cover what is written on spiritual needs over the physical. There are plenty of scenarios where Jesus performed miracles, yet he makes clear the purpose. Our sermon has to go into detail on that, which will help to lower the resolve to continue rivalries with the other tribes due to more people seeking to discipline themselves spiritually. Any questions?"

Of course, there were some debates, yet everyone knew how much Zechariah uses the Bible to counter any arguments within the norm. Eventually, the entire conference was in agreement on what verses would be used for the sermon after working cooperatively on the matter. This was one of few places where the political climate of the tribes did not have much bearing on what should be done. the main focus was always God and spreading the Word through a combination of actions and words.

"That is all, gentlemen. I shall see you here, next week."

He went outside the church again, this time headed to the Piper's residence. Here was where he would check up on the current state of affairs. he was the advisor, after all. That meant he would always have to come here to handle politics, as much as he hated it. Then again, a Head Priest is, by tradition, an advisor to either the Piper or the Co-Piper. He felt blessed that he worked more closely with the Piper than Adam.
