elfForm 1023, Schedule A, question 1: Provide a brief history of the development of the organization, including the reasons for its formation.
What it needs to cover (IMHO):
• Religion itself long dormant, as Eris' spirit left mankind; as she has recently returned her attention to us, her church is necessary to guide mankind's spiritual development.
• Erisian Vision to the Polyfather & his sidekick
• History of the Annual Discordian Ritual, which has grown into something of a movement, inspiring other Discordians to hold their own religious services
• General disrespect & discrimination that Erisians face require a central church to advocate on their behalf and explain the tenets of our faith to outsiders.
• Eris told me to make a church.
What I've got so far: ( choppy description inside )
Any input? Things I've left out that should be included, specific examples to fill in the blanks? I haven't figured out how to say "Eris told me to make a church" in high legalese.
