12th and final Sinod, 1459 AH

Minutes of the closing committee meeting, headed by Bishop Brag Matikus:

The following conclusions were reached and recommendations made:

All efforts to convince the Muslims to follow us christians and create a headlocated religion consisting of ideals and concepts have been fruitless; their insistence on calling their way a deen, and not a religion, i.e. a straight path to the Garden based on right living in every aspect of daily life has proved impossible to undermine – on account of their love of Allah and His Messenger Mustafa.

As is well known all canon laws have long since been abrogated; total freedom has been accorded to the lower nafs, the hungry, base self. As pointed out by Bishop Ataloss it has now been over fifty years since the See in effect legitimized suicide – and so it would only seem reasonable and logical that those who did not want to join the Muslims should take their own lives; this could be organized by the kerbalists who had already signalled their enthusism for this.

Given the staunch holding to aqida and amal of the common people in ‘backward territories’, i.e. trust in the Unseen and consequent action based on the latter, the Baba sees no alternative but to recognize the deep wisdom contained in the Way of Submission, accept a one-off payment of zakat from the Bayt al-Mal in the spirit of mu’allafat qulubuhum, become Muslim himself and encourage other christians to do.

As for the de-facto rulers-by-force in the gated mega-cities, the self styled ‘Protectors of the Masses’, who had succeeded in reducing the teachings of ‘Isa to a conceptual haze these are to be recognized as the de-facto rulers-by-force with the recommendation that they continue to temper their violence with the teachings of the Buddha which had also long-since been reduced to an idea.

All church goods shall be made over to the Khalif in Burkino Faso. Members of the Jesuit order conversant with Islam should try and arrange other zakat payments for potential renegades.
