SHEPHERD CORPS, A W. B. Warren Sanctuary, Inc.
161 & 185 S Wells Fargo Rd; Brookside, UT 84782

I. ORGANIZATION NAME

The revised name of this non-profit corporation is Shepherd Corps, A W. B. Warren Sanctuary—DBA, Shepherd Corps.

II. CORPORATE PURPOSE

A. Nonprofit Purpose

This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes, including, for such intentions, distributions to religious organizations that qualify as exempt companies under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code(s).

B. Specific Purpose

Shepherd Corps is a unique Judeo-Christian sanctuary in which its Shepherds and Members uninhibitedly worship and serve the corporation’s operator and exclusive director—HOLY SPIRIT: servos servorum DEI. Its rural and serene location allows for blessed tranquility, courteous safety, and unvacillating scrupulousness. Having essential moral foundations allow our Shepherds and Members to securely and comfortably pray, repent, fast, and serve with as minimal stress as humanly possible.

The corporation provides extra special care and attention to its Shepherds and full time Members by managing finances, insurances, sustenance necessities, lodging and transportation. It is the obligation and responsibility of Shepherd Corps to minimize all responsibilities and vanities so participants can focus solely on HE WHICH IS (GOD) by way of constant prayer, sacrifice, education, and serving others. Such devoted dedication revolves around a thoroughly structured regimen provided by the sanctuary as per the auspices of the Holy Bible and the Roman Catholic Church. The diurnal obligations of Shepherds at the sanctum include: homage to HE WHICH IS at least 6 times, physical fitness, corporation chores, evangelizing and shepherding as well as biblical education and studies.

C. Specificities Expanded:

1. Spiritual Academy. The U.S. military academies provide for an elite educational experience for its officer candidates. Shepherd Corps aims to provide a parallel experience through its nationally acclaimed Spiritual Academy! The aim of this academy is to prepare future Shepherds for a non-ending warfare against evil and heretics. United with the Catholic Church, our Spiritual Academy will be responsible for teaching, grooming and guiding Shepherds so that they are overly prepared and highly armed with essential spiritual skills and necessary law-abiding societal behaviors. The Spiritual Academy shall strive to provide academy platforms for at least Junior High School, High School and Upper Education students. Each platform affords an opportunity for students to experience and maintain elitedom spiritually, mentally, and physically. Our Upper Educational program will consist of a 6-year agenda in which scholastic studies focus on the written Word of HE WHICH IS and laboratory sciences. Most of the graduates will then devote an additional 6 years to Shepherd Corps as Shepherds (as a physician, evangelist, educator, etc.). The remainder will pursue even a higher calling and enter further studies to become life-long clergy. The Shepherd Corps chairman (Chair) will either be selected from academy graduates or a dedicated priest assigned by the Church.

2. 24/7 Hallowed Sanctuary. Clergy, Shepherds, and specified Members—see Article III—will have unfettered access to Shepherd Corps for prayer, fasting, penance, healing, alms, studying, and evangelizing. This blessed haven shall also provide:

a. room and board for retired, convalescing and traveling eremites and clergy;

b. a tranquil and holistic environment for religious and spiritual retreats;

c. a secure and safe location for religious study groups, concerts, performances and artistic displays.

3. Broadcasting/Publishing. Shepherd Corps will utilize broadcasting platforms such as radio, television and the internet to evangelize, heal, promote and solicit donations. Additionally, the company shall be responsible for publishing or co-publishing its own spiritually inclined written, sketched, painted, etc., materials.

4. America’s forgotten and undesirables. Shepherd Corps shall spiritually engage & entertain our nation’s outcasts, sickly, lost and elderly in order to heal, educate, and illuminate.

5. Evangelization. All natural creatures that inhabit ELOHIM’s planet are His creations—just as terra is. It is the continuous duty and primary obligation of our Shepherds to uninhibitedly evangelize to the land of HE WHICH IS and the creatures dwelling within her.

6. Liberal Arts. Shepherds engage in daily artistic expression by way of music, sketching, carpentry, painting, writing, sculpting, photography, singing, programming, others.

7. Church Support. Shepherd Corps pledges continuous support and obedience to CHRIST’s singular Church. Pastors throughout America may, at any time, request assistance, aid, or support from this sanctuary.

8. Judaea-Christianity. Shepherd Corps recognizes the Roman Catholic Church to be the true and validated Spouse of QUI EST. We believe She was birthed and contracted by our heavenly Father and Moyses. Then, as per the emphatic prophecy announced during the 6th Age of mankind, His Church was formalized and finalized by JESUS our Redeemer. The sum of the Old Testament is JESUS the CHRIST and His Church of St. Peter’s in Rome. This sanctuary understands that within the Old Testament lies the occultation of the New; and in the New Covenant rests the manifestation of the Old. As JESUS Himself affirmed, I am not come to break the Law or the prophets but to fulfill them. Our sanctuary recognizes JESUS the CHRIST as the true and lawful prophet descended from and as promised to Abraham, and by Moyses and his brother, Aaron—the organized Church’s initial Priest. The SON OF MAN is verified chronologically starting with 14 generations from the time of Abraham to the rule of King David. Then another 14 generations lapses from the time of King David to the Transmigration of Babylon. 14 final generations unfold from the Transmigration to Joseph and Mary birthing JESUS the Benevolent. Therefore, our sanctuary offers the followers of neo-Judaism a safe haven to study, discuss, and comprehend the Liturgy.

III. MEMBERSHIP

We welcome any support for Shepherd Corps. If you wish to become a member of this sanctuary then feel free to write us and explain who you are, what you wish to offer, and what benefits you expect to gain from being a member.

The Chair is always reserved for a Shepherd from Shepherd Corps, or assigned priest, who occupies the position indefinitely or until said person is no longer mentally apt and/or physically able to do so. The Chair oversees all Board meetings, mandates deadlines, organizes priorities, aids in establishing alliances and partnerships, oversees finances, vetoes votes that contradict the sanctuary morally and financially, and, is responsible for the safety and wellbeing of the sanctuary and Spiritual Academy.

The primary role of the Board is execution of the Chair’s vision and fund raising. When it comes to overturning a veto or extremely questionable decisions by the Chair, a complete majority (unanimous) vote is required by the Officers and Members of the Board— excluding the Chair. Prior to the Board’s vote of annulment, a Mediator must be appointed and present during all discussions. All of the immediate aforementioned must be accomplished within 3 weeks of the Chair’s veto or ruling or the Chair’s final decision shall stand.

c. Mediator– Mediators are appointed, if requested, during the annual Board meetings. Both the Chair and Board must unanimously agree on a selected mediator.

10. Member Removal.

Board Members removed for failure to meet the minimum requirements stated earlier automatically forfeit their positions on the Board and are not entitled to the removal procedure outlined here.

a. Chair Removal. The removal of the Chair is complex and rare because such a person is formally elected by the Board and caters to a much higher authority. The Board must unanimously vote for the Chair’s removal under the guidance of a Mediator. The Chair must be informed of a pending vote by written notice at least 3 (three) weeks in advance. If vote to remove is approved, the Chair then has thirty (30) days to challenge the decision.

XI. CONFLICT OF INTEREST

A. Purpose.

This policy protects the sanctuary’s interests when engaging a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interest of a Director or Member of Shepherd Corps, or, might result in a possible excess benefit transaction. The Conflict of Interest (COI) policy is intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws governing COI applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations.

B. Definitions.

1. Interested Person. Any Director, principal Officer, or Member of a committee with governing Board-delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, is an Interested Person (IP).

2. Financial Interest. A person has a Financial Interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: an ownership or investment interest in any entity with which the sanctuary has a transaction or arrangement; a compensation arrangement with Shepherd Corps or with any entity or individual with which the sanctuary has a transaction or arrangement; a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, which Shepherd Corps is negotiating a transaction or arrangement. A financial interest is not necessarily a COI. A person who has a financial interest may have a COI only if the appropriate governing Board or committee decides a conflict of interest exists.

3. Compensation. Includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial.

C. Procedures.

1. Duty to Disclose. In connection with any actual or possible COI, an IP must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the Directors and Members of committees with governing board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement.

2. Determination. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the IP, the said individual must leave the governing board or committee meeting while a determination of a potential COI is discussed and voted upon.

3. Procedural Steps.

a. Presentation. An IP makes a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting. After the presentation the IP shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible COI.

b. Investigation. The Chair of the governing board committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person, or committee, to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction—or arrangement.

c. Determination. After due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the Corporation can obtain, with reasonable efforts, a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a Conflict Of Interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a COI, the governing board or committee shall determine, by a majority vote of the disinterested Directors, whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Corporation’s best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.

D. Violations. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a Member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the Member of the basis for such belief and afford said Member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the Member’s response, and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governing Board or Committee determines the Member has failed to disclose an actual or possible COI, it shall take appropriate and corrective action.

E. Records of Proceedings. The minutes of the governing Board and all Committees with Board-delegated powers shall contain the names of the persons who disclosed, or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible COI, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a COI was present, and the governing Board’s or Committee’s decision as to whether a COI in fact existed. The names of the persons who were present for discussions, and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with the proceedings, must all be accurately recorded.

XII. COMPENSATION

A. Voting.

A voting Member of the governing Board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Corporation for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to the Member’s compensation. A voting Member of any Committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the sanctum for services rendered, is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that Member’s compensation. No voting Member of the governing Board or any Committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Corporation, either individually or collectively, is prohibited from providing information to any Committee regarding compensation.

B. Annual Statements.

Each Director, principal Officer, and Member of a committee with governing Board-delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person has received, read, understands and signed a copy of the Conflict Of Interest policy. The person’s signature indicates the individual agrees to comply with the policy and understands the Corporation is charitable; and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. Absolutely no personal profiting can occur within this sanctuary and violators will be punished to the full extent of state and federal laws.

XIII. PERIODIC REVIEWS

To ensure Shepherd Corps operates in a manner consistent with charitable purposes and does not engage in activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status, periodic reviews may be conducted. These reviews shall, at a minimum, include whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent survey information. Also included, the result of arm’s length bargaining. And whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the sanctuary’s policies and are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payment for goods and services, and, advances charitable purposes. Additionally, the above actions do not result in inurement, impermissible private benefit, or in an excess benefit transaction.

A. Outside Experts.

When conducting a periodic review, Shepherd Corps may utilize outside advisors. If used, it shall not relieve the governing Board of its responsibility for ensuring the conduction of periodic reviews.

XIV. INDEMNIFICATION

A. General.

To the full extent authorized under the laws of Utah, this Corporation shall indemnify any Director, Officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or any person who may have served at the request of Shepherd Corps, such as a Director or Officer of another corporation (each of the foregoing Members, Directors, Officers, employees, agents, and persons is referred to as an INDEMNITEE), against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by such indemnitee in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding in which that indemnitee is made a party by reason of being or having been such Member, Director, Officer, employee, or agent, except in relation to matters as to which that indemnitee shall have been adjudged in such action, suit, or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of a duty.

The Board may abolish any such reserve in the manner it was created.

XVIII. SHEPHERDS

A. Vocation.

The Chair and other Shepherds have a demanding vocation to a contemplative life of incessant prayer, spiritual knowledge, biblical study, evangelizing, healing, and altruism. A Shepherd succumbs to a life of forgiveness and love while committing to the commandments of JESUS our CHRIST. This commitment involves the belief that GOD is in JESUS, JESUS is in GOD, JESUS is in us, and, GOD is in us all. A Shepherd Corps Shepherd disavows vanity to serve QUI EST as Master and stringently pledges to vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, prayer and altruism. He maintains an unyielding quest for blessed knowledge, fearlessly commits to the intercession of others, and, ceaselessly places the needs of others before self. Shepherd Corps ordains a Shepherd Brother, or in the possible future a Shepherd Sister, upon successful completion of the 6-year educational program offered by the Spiritual Academy. After commencement, each Shepherd obligates at least 6 (six) years of one’s life as a proselytizer and healer for Shepherd Corps. Additionally, the sanctuary’s Chair can be elected from its corps of Shepherds. The Chair, in turn, has a secular lifelong commitment to spiritually lead Shepherd Corps and its Spiritual Academy.

B. Specific Commitments.

The majority of our Shepherds shall reside on the grounds of the sanctuary and each is inherently blessed with honors and privileges, such as: health insurances, transportation, meals, boarding, others. Such allowances, however, come with inflexible obligations.

1. Evangelist. Catholic Priests are the song of God; Shepherd Corps Shepherds are the chorus of each blessed hymn. Our Shepherds are like the children of Asaph—they boldly sing of the Glory of God. It is the primary obligation of each Shepherd to both evangelize and heal through each Shepherd’s honed talents. Through the graces of the Blessed Virgin, a Shepherd humbly illuminates the poor in spirit, obsequiously teaches those lacking the Bread of Life, and, obstinately heals the afflicted. A Shepherd’s prayer ensues:

a. Jesus, Redeemer, correct in us our errors. Gather the dispersed. Conserve them that are and shall be gathered. Make all one flock in one fold under one pastor, thyself, Jesus Christ. To whom with the Father and Holy Ghost of all thanks, praise, honor, and glory, now and forever. Amen.

b. Amen denotes the Latin word, verum. It is our learned belief that the word or words proceeding Amen identify a substantial truth.

c. A Shepherd’s primary impetus for teaching comes directly from our Savior: To enter the Kingdom of God, one must be born again of water and spirit.

d. Our Shepherds minister to and heal ALL living creatures.

e. A Shepherd is to always be cautious of man: to be as wise as serpents, simple as doves.

2. Evangelical Dictum. Our Shepherds hold firm to the belief that the desire for/of wisdom leads to the everlasting Kingdom. It is the duty and responsibility of each Shepherd to instruct all the willing and unlearned how to attain Everlasting Life (vitam aeternam) from our time on earth. As per our CHRIST’S instructions, I am the way, and the verity, and the life; no man commeth to the Father, but by Me. With this, our Shepherds preach the six (6) steps to attaining Everlasting Life.

a. possess a true and sincere desire of discipline (of GOD’s true service),

b. this leads to an unflinching love for ELOHIM,

c. understand the meaning of love, which is: keep the laws, and, maintain QUI EST’s Commandments,

d. being disciplined in these laws leads to consummation of incorruption,

e. this makes the soul perfect in virtues and free from corruption of sin—being virtuous,

f. which leads to the joining of one with HE WHICH IS—the perfect beatitude of eternal life.

3. Chastity. Shepherds sleep only with HOLY GHOST. This is signified by an illuminated candle, or nightlight, by the bed each evening. The unremitting path of purity in thought and action exemplifies a Shepherd’s disproval of wantonness as one walks a straight path while wholly embracing continency. Sexual abstinence strongly and undoubtedly aids a Shepherd with votaries, which are to: pray, preach, and personify (maintain a spiritual regiment). Such a voluntary asceticism helps obliterate sins of the body and truly aligns one’s spirit with the Tubianeri—religious good. This esoteric pathway enhances a Shepherd’s resistance to the vanities of mankind and strengthens resistance to pride, chastisement, subversion, indignation and emulators of law. For our Shepherds, the pleasures of the body are inferior, and oftentimes detrimental, to Life Everlasting.

4. Church and Prayer. These are two of the most potent vows a Shepherd diligently maintains. As a daily minimum a Shepherd prays during the canonical hours: DAWN, 0900, MID-DAY, DUSK, 2100, MIDNIGHT. The path to knowledge and pure judgment is by way of staunch incessant prayer! To reside and pray in Church, which includes religious relics, is the apex of worship for a Shepherd. After all, there is a great difference where one prays or adores: at home, or in the Church or Holy places. Even the early Christian Gentiles devoted pilgrimages and homage to the Jew’s historic Temple in Jerusalem after JESUS’ Assumption into Heaven. The 4 (Four) Gospel writers devoted all their communications, which includes New Testament writings to the Jewish people. To the Christian Gentiles, however, the Apostle Peter devised the Savior’s Church to be rooted in Rome. It is without any doubt ELOHIM’s Spouse provides the quintessential place of worship along with the reception of CHRIST’s Sacraments.

a. GOD’s direct commandment to His glorified Son was/is this: JESUS will yield His life so there can be just ONE flock and ONE pastor. Only JESUS, not any man, had/has the power to yield His life. As historically revealed, no one person could take the life from JESUS.

b. Only the Church completely symbolizes the Glory of HE WHICH IS. It is through the Church the rich traditions of our Jewish forefathers are practiced. Only CHRIST’S Church parallels the life, practices, and offerings of our Savior. Hosanna, blessed is He who commeth in the name of our Lord, the King of Israel. All other religions on this planet are the result only of man, not CHRIST. Shepherd Corps is unflinching with this belief.

c. It is only Saint Peter’s Catholic Church in which the seed planted by our Savior remains firmly rooted and continuously sprouts fruit. Only through this Church has JESUS offered specific instruction and the HOLY SPIRIT continues hallowed guidance. It is in the Mass of the Church where a Shepherd learns humility and acquires grace. JESUS austerely vocalized this as He entered the Temple of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, knowing full well that in five (5) days more He would be persecuted to death: Fear not, Daughter of Sion, Behold the King commeth sitting upon an asses colt.

d. When a Shepherd prays and weeps for others, he begins and ends each bequest with, DEUS propitius—GOD Be Merciful. When a Shepherd hears ELOHIM’s name used vainly, he/she kneels and prays, DEUS propitius. Whenever a Shepherd hears the name JESUS our CHRIST being vocalized, he/she instantly kneels out of divine worship, extreme respect, and, praise.

5. Fasting. Divine enlightenment and spiritual guidance are predominantly obtained through constant fasts. Shepherd Corps provides the grounds, support, and security for such fasts, which are dynamically personal and undeniably private—the government and public are never allowed access to such divine worship and thanksgiving. One need refers only to Moyses, Elias and JESUS, although all 3 (three) were divinely inspired and protected by QUI EST during their 40 (forty)-day fasts, for the extraordinary validity in which a fast offers an individual. Many of the Church’s scribes, saints, and martyrs became enlightened only through the miraculous auspices of their unencumbered and proud fasts. Like the power of chastity, fasting offers and strengthens a synergistic enhancement to a Shepherd’s coat-of-arms: purity. The guidance and revelation received by HOLY SPIRIT during a fast identifies a statement of faith for our Shepherds.

a. A Shepherd’s consistent Article of Faith, Children of the Light: Walk while you have the Light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knowest not whither he goeth. Unless you have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may be the children of the Light.

6. Discipline. The order in the life of a Shepherd bares its fruit in the written words of HE WHICH IS. The Old Testament, the Apocrypha, and the New Testament are the primary sources on how each Shepherd acknowledges and executes every passing day. A portrait of the average day for a Shepherd parallels the following:

a. arise before dawn and proudly announce the Shepherd’s Oath: He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world doth keep it to Life Everlasting. If any man minister to Me, let him follow Me: and where I am, there also shall My minister be. If any man minister to Me, My Father will honor him

b. dress bed and tidy personal quarters

c. engage in physical fitness

d. dawn prayers or breviary

e. attend High and Low Masses whenever physically possible and feasible

f. sanctuary chores

g. minister/evangelize

h. mid-morning prayers or breviary

i. mid-day prayers or breviary

j. assignments or grounds upkeep

k. dusk prayers or breviary

l. 2100 or bedtime prayers/breviary

m. midnight prayers or breviary

n. prostration—for each Shepherd this is extremely personal. When a Shepherd prostrates it is executed with the head resting on the ground, the arms outstretched 90 (ninety) degrees to the torso, emulating CHRIST’s Cross.

7. Blessings. Shepherds give thanks to the Almighty by words of grace prior to each and every meal. With each person a Shepherd encounters he/she provides a blessing or extends the greeting of JESUS, pax vobis (peace be to you). And for every home a Shepherd is offered entry, the following blessing: pax huic domui (peace to this house).

8. Penance. Doing great penance is obligatory and honorable. A Shepherd understands the will of the flesh and comprehends man’s constant struggle with vanity. Therefore, Shepherds pray, weep, work and sing for personal sins and those of his fellow man. Even when the trials of man burden dreadfully against a Shepherd, when the masses oppose and chastise her because of her unwavering belief and faith in HE WHICH IS and all ELOHIM stands for, a Shepherd does not flinch at the threat of violence or taste of death. Instead, a Shepherd recalls that man hated and crucified SON OF MAN first. Shepherds embrace and accept constant daily penance just as one eats and sleeps. The hallowed act of great penance is historically sacred and must remain so (as supervised by the Church).

9. Superogaveris (Supererogate). Supererogate defines a Shepherd. Shepherds do not require motivation or reminding of the good works required of them by HOLY SPIRIT. They unremittingly strive to excel in good works beyond what is required of them.

10. Abstain from Pleasures. Worldly treasures, humanly pleasures, monetary exchanges, and personal gifts are of no significance or value to our Shepherds. This special breed foregoes all benefactions because such earthly troves offer no eternal rewards. A Shepherd contemplates and animates in such an esteemed esoteric spiritual plane that the average person cannot comprehend. Shepherds choose to abstain from earthly pleasures because the reward of Life Everlasting (vitam aeternam) dominates their thought processes and guides their actions/reactions amongst their fellow man. A Shepherd realizes no worldly value can be placed on this gift from CHRIST. Thusly, each Shepherd recognizes that only through one’s daily actions and sacrifices (while on earth) can one be considered worthy and sanctified for eternal heavenly glory. Life Everlasting is the only remuneration each Shepherd lives for.

11. Persecution and Loss. Our lives in these humanly shells are finite and inundated with loss and pain. A Shepherd accepts these sufferings as a tribute to the sacrifices our Savior made for each of us. For such a tribute a Shepherd avows, to greatly suffer for one’s belief in the teachings of our Lord offers no greater humanly sacrifice.

12. Holy Convocations. Our Lord’s Church historically and proficiently dictates the feasts that are to be celebrated by way of a special independent Mass in which Shepherds are obliged to adhere. In addition to these prestigious Holy Days of Obligation, Shepherds acknowledge Holy Convocations covenanted between QUI EST and our Judeo ancestors in Leviticus but do not celebrate them as only the Jewry today do.

a. Pasch/Passover (Pesakh). Passover commemorates man’s redemption from sin. It coincides with Phase, which is the 14th day of the new moon of the first month, Nisan (March, April or sometimes May). More importantly, JESUS was crucified during Passover week; and He presented Himself as the Passover Lamb.

b. Feast of Unleavened Bread (Matsoth). This Feast is a continuation of Passover. On the 15th day of Nisan, and for one week after Passover, only unleavened bread is eaten to commemorate GOD’s deliverance of Israel out of Egypt.

c. Feast of First-Fruits (Yom Havikurim). Celebrated on the 22nd of Nisan (Mar, Apr or May), the day after Feast of Unleavened Bread concludes. This dedication of the first harvests acknowledges the fertility of the land given to the Israelites by HE WHICH IS.

d. Pentecost/Weeks (Shavuot). The Feast of Weeks is celebrated the day after the conclusion of the 7 (seven) weeks after the Feast of Passover. This Feast takes place 50 (fifty) days after Passover and commemorates the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai. This includes the Day of First-Fruits for the wheat harvest.

e. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Tiruah). It was commanded to be held on the first day of the 7th month (Tishri: September or October) and was to be a day of the trumpet blast. The blowing of the trumpets signaled the beginning of the civil new year; hard labor was ceased during this time.

f. Atonement (Yom Kippur). On the 10th day of the seventh month (Tishri) the high priest makes atonement for Israel’s sin. Atonement is a day of fasting and is observed ONCE a year.

g. Feast of Booths or Tabernacles (scenopegia or Sukkot). Acknowledged from the 15th of Tishri (September/October) until the 21st. This Feast represents the commemoration of the 40 (forty) years of our ancestors dwelling in the desert wilderness, at which time the people incredibly resided in booths comprised of branches and tree boughs, all under the miraculous protection of HE WHICH IS.

h. Feast of Dedication/Festival of Lights (Hanukkah or egkainismos). This is an 8 (eight) day celebration beginning on the 25th of Kislev (November/December) to commemorate the re-purification of our temple by Judas of the fascinatingly daunting Machabees around 167 BC.

i. Feast of Purim (lots). Instituted by Mordecai, the Jewish leader who refused to bow to Haman. Afterwards insulted, Haman used lots to set the date for the (failed) genocide of our Jewish ancestors. Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jews as recorded in the book of Esther. It is celebrated from the 14th to the 15th of Adar (February/March).

13. Poverty. Shepherds do not draw salaries and have no personal possessions. Shepherd Corps provides for all (minimal essentials) biological and physiological necessities required of each Shepherd which includes: sustenance, hygiene, attire, health insurance, transportation, security, travel, rent, utilities, hobbies, research, room and bed.

14. Dress Code. Excluding calisthenics and personal time, our Shepherds wear maroon linen habits with maroon rope cinctures when in public. Bland-colored leather sandals with straps are predominantly worn on the feet. Shepherd apparel must not be constructed of wool. Maroon is the chosen color because its hue best represents the blood of our Savior, His intrepid martyrs (known and unknown), and, our beloved saints (known and unknown). Walking sticks/canes are also provided for each Shepherd. The Chair may elect to wear brown or an off-white habit. A wood rosary (no metallics) at least 40” (forty) in length and with an attached cross is always secured to each Shepherd’s cincture. An alternative to the habit for men (we have not yet finalized the substitute attire for women) is a maroon, long- or short-sleeve, clergy shirt, preferably comprised of linen but cotton may be used as a substitute, as well as a black collarette with a white narrow strip across the top. The trousers, includes shorts, must be mono-colored and bland, conservative and simple, frugal with no advertisements, and loose-fitting. A maroon belt or suspenders may be added. Hats are optional and are only worn out of necessity—not as a reminder that HE WHICH IS reigns above us. These hats must be bland and dull, lacking advertisements, parsimonious, and must not contain wool. No hats are ever to be worn indoors. There are seven (7) governing reasons why each Shepherd is meticulously attired as indicated.

a. Purity. The wearing of a habit comprised of straight linen signifies a purity of life required in each of our Shepherds.

b. Discretion. Excluding the embroidered emblem of Shepherd Corps stitched on the back of each hooded habit, maroon is a Shepherd’s chosen color because it signifies the blood shed by our Pascal Lamb and His martyrs. A Shepherd is to always use discrete moderation in all his acts to the spiritual profit of all sorts of people. The embroidered insignia shall be comprised of only the following colors: blue, scarlet, yellow (gold) and/or purple.

c. Edification. The lengthy habit covers the entire body flowing down to the dorsal of a Shepherd’s foot. This signifies heavenly conversation upon this earth along with union and concord in faith and manners (at all times), with edification by good works. A Shepherd never requires praise or publicity of any kind.

d. Toleration. The maroon cincture is comprised of 12 strands of twisted rope to indicate the 12 Tribes of Israel and 12 Apostles. It is secured around a Shepherd’s waist as a reminder to support the people a Shepherd ministers to and tolerates the infirmities of others.

e. Knowledge and Sincerity. The embroidered emblem worn on the upper back of a Shepherd’s habit is no larger than an adult palm. URIM and THUMMIM are the only words to be found on the Shepherd Corps patch/emblem and are translated to indicate DOCTRINE and VERITY. Each Shepherd indefatigably endeavors for daily knowledge of the truth and sincere intention. The only personal ornament authorized for a Shepherd is a blessed pure gold or cloth (linen) scapular worn around the neck. This connotes the perpetual solicitude and care a Shepherd possesses in his/her heart. Our Shepherds know and teach the truth for one exclusive purpose: that the people may truly serve ELOHIM to the Shepherd’s honor and the people’s own salvation.

f. Intention Directed to QUI EST. Rounded hoods are secured to the top of each habit to act as a reminding impetus for a Shepherd in which he/she must direct all actions to our Lord’s glory—who rules above us all.

g. Contemplation of ELOHIM and His Hallowed Works. A Shepherd’s lengthy habit is intentionally of one piece that is donned by first slipping the garment over the head, shoulders and arms. This is to ardently remind the Shepherd to contemplate ELOHIM along with His works with everything the Shepherd does throughout the day.

15. Obedience. Forswearing oneself, pride, and sloth are without doubt the greatest contributors to disobedience. A Shepherd vows obedience and allegiance to only the:

a. HOLY GHOST

b. Church

c. Chair of Shepherd Corps

16. Tribes Unification. Shepherds always endeavor to assist with the unification of the surviving descendants of the original 12 Tribes of Israel. Shepherd Corps provides the physical space for those persons practicing neo-Judaism wishing for unification under ELOHIM. How does Shepherd Corps define Neo-Judaism? Firstly, it is the result from the toppling of King Solomon’s Temple after CHRIST’S Crucifixion and subsequent Ascension into our Lord’s eternal Heavenly Kingdom. Next, JESUS is the legitimate and final heir to the priesthood meticulously established by Adam, his most hallowed son, ENOCH, the Priest, Melchisedech, Abraham, Isaac, the incomparable Jacob, Moyses and his brother, Aaron, Kings’ David and Solomon, &c. Also, Neo-Judaism legitimizes itself by linking the one-time true Jewish faith to the corrupted high priest successions that occurred while our beloved Jewish ancestors were incarcerated in and after they were freed from Babylon. Including, corruption certainly unfolded under Roman rule as well. As per the prestigious prophecy: a prophet chosen amongst us becomes the harbinger of Elijah’s return to earth, subsequently followed by our Savior’s return for final judgment of all mankind. This trio of events, along with John’s Revelations, unfolds after the 12 Tribes of Israel are once again unified and converted from Neo-Judaism (or any other man-formulated religions) to be unified with this planet’s chosen people of our Savior. Originally named, Christians, (logically dubbed after the followers of our Savior) but then later evolved to the term Catholic, which is studiously defined as, Universal. Shepherds of Shepherd Corps must always remain vigilant and instrumental in such blessedly historic opportunities.

C. Symbolum Apostolorum. By tradition the 12 original Apostles of JESUS pass down to us a code known as the Apostle’s Creed. Since our baptism Shepherds solemnly profess each and every one of the following 12 Articles belonging to this Creed:

1. I believe in God the Father, almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

2. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.

3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary.

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: Descended into Hell.

5. The third day He rose again from death.

6. Ascended into heaven: sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

7. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

8. I believe in the Holy Ghost.

9. The Holy Catholic Church: the communion of saints.

10. Forgiveness of sins.

11. Resurrection of the flesh.

12. Life everlasting. Amen.
