Orthodoxy as Conserved Sequences
Our predecessors passed down advantageous practices in conserved sequences as orthodoxies.
Vatican Hill
The Vatican was built on a hill above reclaimed swamp land where a necropolis had cropped up. Romans worshipped there at the temple of Cybele as Christian martyrs filled the necropolis.
Under the Trump Administration
Bright Orthodoxy under the Trump Administration
Religion has no place in the state, just as the state has no place in religion. Bright Orthodoxy will neither endorse nor lament the incoming administration. We can though acknowledge the likelihood of deregulation across several sectors, and the destabilization that comes with sweeping changes. Bright Orthodoxy will serve her people through these, as our practices have served people since prehistory and through the rise and fall of nations.
Bright Orthodoxy means Survival
Orthodoxies represent the combined work of generations, like languages or speciation. Bits and pieces of English have persisted since the Neolithic in words like mother, fire, and I. Humans and pine trees share a sliver of DNA, the building blocks for our most recent common ancestor.

Our religion hinges on the values and practices of people subject to the natural world to a degree we cannot imagine.
