[MR] Minyan at Coronation?

Fri Aug 30 14:00:21 PDT 2002

Greetings Pedro!

Thank you for your offer to host a minyan at coronation. I of course
encourage anyone who wishes to participate in a minyan or other
religious observance off to a side at an event to do so.

However, just a friendly reminder that, as autocrat, I feel compelled to
make. Per corpora sec II(F):

"Policy on Religion
Having no wish to recreate the religious conflicts of the period under
study, the Society shall neither establish nor prohibit any system of
belief among its members. No one shall perform any religious or magical
ceremony as a Society event (or in association with the name of the
Society) in such a way as to imply that the ceremony is authorized,
sponsored, or promulgated by the Society to force anyone at a Society
event, by direct or indirect pressure, to observe or join the ceremony.
However, this provision is in no way intended to discourage the study of
historical belief systems and their effects on the development of
Western culture. 
Except as provided herein, neither the Society nor any member acting in
its name or that of any of its parts shall interfere with any person's
lawful ceremonies, nor shall any member discriminate against another
upon grounds related to either's system of belief."

In summary, everyone should feel free to hold any religious ceremony
they wish in a private area off to the side of the event. 

In service,
	- Nikulai
