Inner Court Dedicant

dsf

A Dedicant is a person who has dedicated a period of one year and one day to study and training toward the Priesthood. During this period the Dedicant is considered a member of the Inner Court . At the end of their year and a day the Dedicant may return to Outer Court status, or request First Degree initiation.

When you enroll for the First Degree Course through the Temple, you are then considered a Dedicant of the Temple as well as of the Correllian Tradition.

Inner Court members are the Priesthood of the Tradition holding First, Second or Third Degree clergy status.  The Inner Court is much harder to join. We accept students readily, but students for the Priesthood must study hard and pass a series of examinations to prove their knowledge. Our Lessons for First degree Priesthood are considered among the best available, and cover many subjects, which the student is expected to learn about in depth.

When you are approved for Clergy, your Clergy status is recognized through both the Temple and the Tradition as the Temple is a formal body of the CNT.

Honorary - Most often Honorary status is granted to initiated clergy from other Traditions who are affiliated with a given Correllian Temple as Outer Court Members, but have not pursued Correllian clerical training. As Honorary Clergy they are welcome to attend ceremonies that are for clergy only, such as initiations, and even sometimes hold office within the Temple . Honorary status is not often given, and is reserved for highly respected people who have truly earned it.

Whether you are a member of The Sacred Light Temple or not, both Outer and Inner Court membership can be applied for directly through the Correllian website.  Although you do not have to be a member of The Sacred Light Temple, you must still complete the Tradition's Clergy requirements through a recognized Mentor, Shrine or Temple of the Correllian Tradition.
