Re: Initiative: Community Mass.

Ahhh.. that made my morning.

[Drustai]

You could always edit it away, Lex.

[Aldric Essalus Helmfrid]

What's Arksons Mass about? When is it?

[Amaryl]

supposedly held by a figure of spiritual authority, not just any random passerby.

Thank you for acknowledging the Spiritual authority of the man in pink.

Quite a few of us didn't acknowledge his spiritual authority. One joke mass is more than enough.

Then it is clear that there is a schism between spirituality and teaching the proletariat.

because if you're only preaching to priests, paladins and Lexgrad, you'll never spread the word of compassion, tenacity and respect.

While Djego did manage to pull in ruffians to listen to his wonderous speech about taking action in your own hand, and facing evil head on, instead of waiting for some-one else to do it.

Mass is supposed to be accessible for everyone, and The Man in Pink, managed that. Tsk the fact that you didn't understand that, obviously comes from the fact that you are a draenei, that kept running until you found someone to clean up your mess, the lovely humans.

That said, Lexy preach the pure word! finally a mass where Amy won't be insulted by a corpse!

[Drustai]

Djego's 'wondrous speech' did not spread anything about compassion, tenacity, and respect. It spread pride, selfishness, and gloryhunting.

[Thelos]

It's that famous human pride again, Drustai. Let them think they are the chosen ones, destined to safe the universe and such. We know better.

[Zouyo]

Yup, that's -our- job. *points at the orcs*
Blizz said so.

[Amaryl]

Djego's 'wondrous speech' did not spread anything about compassion, tenacity, and respect. It spread pride, selfishness, and gloryhunting.

My Point exactly! You didn't listen well enough!

Where was Drustai's respect for the Speaker when she left in the middle of the story, missing the poignant crescendo or the moral of the story?
Where was Drustai's Tenacity to sit through a mass she didn't agree with completely?
Where was Drustai's compassion to give him the benefit of the doubt?

Ey, Ey, Ey

*Disguised bump!*

But for reals for once, sure it was a funny anecdote by someone you can't really consider a Priest, But the text itself was filled with Idea's that match up with the Light and the Three virtues, and an idea of the nature of war between Light and Darkness and how to brace it.

and the purpose was to tell a tale of light to the masses, and not to Lightly educated, it wasn't philosophical or theological speech meant for other theologians, its was a tale with certain themes.

But Because Djego is Djego, it was covered with a blanket of sexual innuendo en Pop-culture references. (Can't break character now can we?!)

And I was oocly curious how many people, would pick up on the Lightly undertones, and how many would be securely be offended, by the presence and style of the Magnificent D.

Arkson Woot!

[Lexgrad]

Funny that was basicly Lex's rant to Velspeth and Amaryl when they were pulling Theological wheelies

Arksons mass will be a simple service, a few Prayers, a blessing and a reading from the Holy words (Nethen, chapter one). The story is important for paladins, however many others could take something from it.

For more infomation on the friars themselves... They are wandering monks who forsake all personal posessions and money and wander the world preaching compassion and peace where ever the light guides them too.

[Amaryl]

Lexy that's true! xD

but different characters, different approaches to the same situation!.

Looking forward to hear Arkson preach in a more devout fashion! I'm just sad i missed both the Anethion ones

[Aldric Essalus Helmfrid]

I wouldn't mind doing one on Helmfrid hah. The Light through the eyes of a Witch Hunter. That could be interesting. D:

[Velspeth]

I know Corleth wanted to do one this week. On the calendar, should it read Corleth or Greagoir?

[Osmand]

I know Corleth wanted to do one this week. On the calendar, should it read Corleth or Greagoir?

Corleth is a lightless heretic now and Greagoir is too mean. I believe it should read Petrine.

[Osmand]

Also, I wouldn't mind doing another mass again some time, perhaps wait a while due to cluster of Anethionian's saying mass recently. Would like to do one on the Light and other races, from an Anethionian perspective. I think it would make for a lovely discussion afterwards.

[Velspeth]

I'll amend the calendar shortly. Thanks osmand.

[Drustai]

Corleth's mass was quite riveting.

Truly.

<.<

[Lexgrad]

Proof that the Light hates the Chapter, and the Chapter hate us!

[Gilran]

Have you ever considered hosting this in Ironforge, or is it only for Stormwindians?

[Lexgrad]

Community mass for SW community i think, But all are welcome.

[corleth]

I'm trying to remember what I was doing when I should have been doing this mass, but I actually can't.

I think that says enough.

Spoiler:

[Velspeth]

In terms of moving the Mass to Ironforge, the initial plan was to have the speaker decide where it would be held.

This however, became confusing and the majority of people advised that they would prefer it to have some consistency in the location of the Mass.

If a Dwarven Priest would like to deliver a Mass and would prefer it to be held in Ironforge, we could accommodate that and communicate it well in advance so as to prevent confusion.

----

On another note, it is a possibility that Jean-Pierre will deliver next week's Mass, which is terribly exciting!

It is not definite though, and if he cancels, Velspeth will deliver it.

[Celadazar]

The people demand JP!!

[Velspeth]

Hopefully he shall be able to make it, otherwise you're stuck with me

[corleth]

Hopefully he shall be able to make it, otherwise you're stuck with me

Surely thats a win-win situation.

[Jeanpierre]

I'll do it! Though.. I'm still thinking about the starting time. What's the usual time? 20:00?
