THE EPISKOPOSES
MMMMMMMMMMM
Everything has pretty much been stated about the members
in general of The House, except: How To Become One.
If a Legionnaire wishes ascendance into The House, he must
first prove that he has a profound understanding of Discordianism.
This is really necessary, for an Episkopos (unlike a Legionnaire)
can do just about anything he wishes IN THE NAME OF THE DS.
The only thing that he cannot do, is override The Golden Apple
Corps. So, present yourself for examination before The Golden
Apple Corps; and if it feels that your Erisian Judgement can be trusted
almost-unconditionally, be trusted, then you will be ascended.
The easiest way to present yourself for examination, is to write
a Holy Work, such that you feel it demonstrates your ability to
be an Episkopos, and present it to The Corps--actually, this way
is preferred, we like Holy Works. Ascendance into The House can
be authorized only by The Corps.
One priviledge that an Episkopos has is that of giving himself
titles, such as Bull Goose of Limbo and Protector of Switzerland
(Lord Omar's title) or Omnibenevolent Polyfather of Virginity-in-
Gold (Malaclypse--The Younger's title). Like your Sacred Name,
your Sacred Title is a very personal and individual thing and
should be chosen with care. Furthermore, he can also head depart-
ments of the Administry and title himself appropriatly; and he can
officially usher in new Legionnaire Converts; and ascend Legionnaires
to Disciplehood; and all others everything.
As an Eristocrat in The House of the Apostles of Eris, an
Episkopos should carry his Honor with the appropriate dignity.
