MEMBERSHIP
Within the Fellowship,
there are five categories of membership:
-
Auditors:
Members who, because of their interest in goals A, E,
F, and/or G, are admitted to the Fellowship for a period
of one year and participate in these activities. Membership
will be renewable each year upon request, on the condition
that the request be approved by the Council and satisfaction
of all membership requirements in the Fellowship. Any
person, including those participating in activities directed
by the Fellowship, may propose their candidature. New
members are admitted as being either definitive
or as temporary, according
to the determination of the Council, for a fixed period
of time as referenced in the bylaws of the Fellowship.
Auditors who are admitted definitively
participate in the General Assembly, and elect from among
their membership a representative to the Council of the
Fellowship.
-
Probationers:
Any Auditor may propose her or his own candidature as
a Probationer. Candidacy must be made directly to the
President of the Fellowship. New Probationers are admitted
as being either definitive or
as temporary, according to the
determination of the Council and satisfaction of all conditions
of membership, for a fixed period of time as referenced
in the bylaws of the Fellowship. Probationers participate
in the activities of the Fellowship as outlined in the
first goal, and, under the direction of one of the Fellowship's
Seekers, assist in the organization and realization of
any number of the goals and activities of the Fellowhip.
More specifically, a specific task may be assigned from
among the list of stated goals of the Fellowship. Probationers
who are admitted definitively participate
in the General Assembly, and elect from among their membership
a representative to the Council of the Fellowship.
-
Seekers:
Seekers are in part considered as founding members of the
Fellowship and in part those who, obligatorily and exclusively,
come from the academy of Probationers and, for their particular
interest and service to the Fellowship. Candidacy must be
submitted directly to the President of the Fellowship. New
Seekers are admitted as being either definitive
or as temporary, according
to the determination of the Council and satisfaction of
all conditions of membership, for a fixed period of time
as referenced in the bylaws of the Fellowship. Seekers define
and direct the activities of the Fellowship as outlined
in the goals, each being responsible for one or several
of the activities and serving as the director of the team
which will realize the activity.
-
Honorary Members:
This particular distinction will be discerned by the Council
and awarded to moral persons who have been of service
to or been determined to be capable of rendering eminent
services to the Fellowship. Honorary Members are not required
to render tithes of membership. These members may, in
their particular qualities, be invited to participate
in the General Assembly or any other activity of the Fellowship,
but are not eligible to participate on the Council, nor
are they accorded voting privileges.
-
Benefactors:
Members may be considered Benefactors by means of a fixed
annual donation as suggested by the Council for the benefit
of the Fellowship. These members may, in the particular
qualities, be invited to participate in the General Assembly
or any other activity of the Fellowship, but are not eligible
to participate on the Council, nor are they accorded voting
privileges.
The conditions under
which an individual may lose their membership in the Fellowship
are outlined in thy bylaws of the Fellowship. Most notably,
would be via a violation of goal H.
