Chapter I:  Establishment of The Community of Saint George

​
In the name of The Most Holy Trinity, under the patronage of Saint George, the Community of Saint George is established.

​The Holy Rule of The Community of Saint George is about living a sacramental life. A life structured around service to humanity through the sacrament of Holy Orders while exemplifying the characteristics of Saint George as shown through the prayer:
"As a savior of the enslaved, benefactor of the poor, doctor of the sick, guardian of kings, and bearer of victory.  Oh, Great Martyr George, pray to Christ our God to save our souls, now and always and forever and ever.  Amen."
These characteristics are:
  • A commitment to justice and those who are marginalized.
  • A commitment to service towards the poor and those who are suffering.
  • A commitment to healing those who suffer from spiritual pain.
  • A commitment to Christian Unity, specifically within sacramental Christianity but also embracing an ecumenical spirit with non-sacramental Christian communities.  This commitment is best manifested in a striving towards knowledge and formation and helping other Christians through education and the sharing of spiritual gifts.
  • A commitment, that as celebrants we, the clergy within The Community of Saint George, bear witness to Jesus Christ as Victor over death.
  • A commitment to humility.
  • An understanding that our intentions are important and to strive to live by the ideal of in all things may God be glorified.  
All of this while also living our commitment and understanding of the Liberal Catholic Church tradition that embraces a non-literal, esoteric approach to sacramental Christianity as exemplified by The Young Rite of which The Community of Saint George is a part. It is understood that everyone within The Community of Saint George accepts the Holy Rule of the Community and the Landmarks of The Young Rite and act according to the statutes contained herein.  Furthermore, all members of The Community of Saint George are also members of The Young Rite.
