Dawn of Colonization

We would, of course, accept open borders with our glorious father land; we will send you our best fish, from the Sea of Azow, and the very swiftest and strongest horses from our breeding stocks.
A group of missionaries will accompany any immigrants that leave for the fatherland; the Monolith will bestow its guidance upon any who seek it.

We would welcome the opportunity to establish trade warehouses and a "Chinese Quarter" in your principal port to facilitate commerce between our nations and tax collection by our governments. We will, of course, allow you a similar opportunity in Guangzhou. All the riches of East Asia flow through the merchants of the Pearl River delta and we would share them with you for the ivory, teak and spices of Malacca and points west.

@Sonic: Russia is not very happy about nations claiming territory that is Rightfully Russia's, ESPECIALLY heathen rock loving nations.

OCC: Consider that before you start there.

A BLESSED DAY

-

Dialogue between the Patriarchs of Jerusalem and the Patriarch of Moscow has led to the reconciliation of the Russian Orthodox Church to the Orthodox Catholic Church.

-

The Russian Orthodox Church is now part of the one Orthodox Catholic Church

-

Both Patriarchs have reached this historic accord with the realisation that there were no substantial doctrinal differences between the two patriarchates, and that the sole problems were minor misunderstandings. After this some small administrative problems were reconciled and the Churches were made one, with the wholehearted support of the pious King Baldwin of Jerusalem, and the great Tsar of Mother Russia.

-

: The Russian Orthodox Church shall be come a sui iuris (autonomous) church within and indivisibly apart of the one Orthodox Catholic Church, under the direct governance of the patriarch of moscow. (think eastern Catholics)

: The Patriarch of Jerusalem has primacy of honour due to his historic see, but that the Patriarch of Moscow is equal in dignity and stature to the Jerusalem Patriarch

: That the Patriarch of Jerusalem, as Hierarch of the Holy City has the sole right to excommunicate and call crusades

:The Russian and the "Western" rites of the Orthodox Catholic Church are equal in dignity, and each sui iuris Church shall retain its own rights and liturgical customs as equally valid expressions of the same, single faith and teachings

-

Both Patriarchs have agreed that as equals they shall regularly consult with eachother as brothers in all important matters in order to preserve the unity of the Church that has been achieved through much effort on this historic occasion, and which shall serve as a sign of the unity of true orthodox christianity against the various heresies of our times.

Furthermore in the spirit of brotherhood at this momentous occasion, the Tsar and the King joyously signed, Trade Agreements, a Defensive Pact and a Non Agression Pact between Russia and Jerusalem.

ooc: @ Sonereal: Theres a query for you on the social group as to the precise status of the Church now that we have a newly unified Church that subsumes entirely independent Russian Orthodox religion into the One Church.

Also Ninjacow should be sending you a confirmation pm, or be posting on here soon enough for the record. Russia is an industrious nation and its Tsar has many concerns on his time

In recognition of this momentous occasion the Kingdom of Prussia hereby announces it is adopting Orthodox Catholicism as its' state religion.

Orders edited to reflect this.

The Kingdom of Jerusalem rejoices at this historic day and welcomes your inclusion into the One True Faith with open arms as a christian brother. Let this day be a sign to all nations of the unifying strength of True Christianity in the face of all those errors and deceptions that have plagued the world in the wake of the Red Death. This day is a Holy day, and day of celebration it shall be throughout the Kingdom.

May the justice and peace of God reign forever amongst the brother nations of the Orthodox Catholic Church.

 

[filli_noctus]

From: Kingdom of Prussia

To: Kingdom of Jerusalem
A holiday has been declared and church bells shall be rung throughout the kingdom in celebration of the unification of the faith allowing us to make this declaration.

To: Sweden
We are disappointed with your reticence in negotiation of a compromise.

A young Welsh monk called Nye, son of Jon of Maddox, was on a humble merchant ship that was set for both Flanders and Prussia. Nye had wished to take board on his plans to commence pilgrimage to Rome. The monk also had another visionary task. On his way he was greeted by the Welsh Chancellor: Trevor of the Morris family. Trevor felt the importance of trade and wanted to send letters of new trade agreements to both Flanders and Prussia. The offered increased trade would include... the trade of pocket watches for whatever currency would the merchants see fit, with royal hope that materials for war instruments would be included. It was the dream of the King of Wales for the Celtic Kingdom to become stronger. To become stronger it needed to expand its influence across the waves. To this was improved trade.

Nye’s primal mission though was not just being followed by one extra quest. He felt that he would preach the word of the Celtic-Catholic Church through the streets he would travel through, in hope of spreading the light of the Celtic way. The monk observed one of the pocket watches that the Welsh felt would help demonstrate the will of their power. These devices were good at telling time but so was the Sun that God created for humanity. The shines of the Sun made the monk felt warm inside, for he saw his instrument of time keeping in the sky... but felt this new technology was maybe useful when the clouds were in the air or when the Sun was not in view via the highness of a landscape. Whatever the case monk hope his journey would demonstrate his own worth before God.

The merger of our churches is indeed true. I will make an in depth RP post when I get the chance.
