Mass

From InquisitionWiki

At the appropriate times, all who are able gather in an authorized place of worship to confirm their dedication to the Davite faith. All services begin with a processional, where an ordained priest of the Order retrieves the symbolic chalice from the tabernacle and displays it for all members of the congregation. This is immediately followed by an announcement, usually by a higher-ranked member of the Order, of any important matters affecting the entire diocese.

Then, the ceremony begins in earnest: a priest recites a shared event, religious tract, or other symbol of the faith for the benefit of the congregation, explaining its significance. These are usually liberally peppered with means by which one can safeguard one's soul from the terrible ailments of magery and heresy.

Upon the conclusion of the recitation, the priest passes around the symbolic chalice, filled with water from the Lower Spring; all gathered (who are able to drink) - those who are in the good graces of the church - sip from the chalice, starting in the front with the nobility. Immediately after sipping from the chalice, each humble servant of the Order recites Dav's Declarations.

When the chalice is emptied, the dialogue begins, and any present member may address the entire congregation with a noncommercial concern or direct questions toward any member of the Order or nobility attending the service. When this is finished, the officiating priest blesses the congregation, and the parishioners leave, dropping donations in a collection box manned by acolytes of the Order.
