Since I started this thing let me see if I can clarify the issue and explain as I understand it. All ordainments from the Tradition have been done through the mother temple. This has always been the case. Any full temple, as I understand it has the right to ordain priests and priestesses and they will be recognized by the Tradition.
Now, here’s what’s been happening. Temples have been and are charging for this service. Hey, it’s only right, it uses their resources, takes up their time. Everyone has to survive. The problem is that Lord Don has not been doing that, Ok there was a small charge for first degree, but most Temples charge more. On second and third degree Lord Don didn’t charge anything (Thanks Buddy!). Other temples do.
Now most everyone is aware that times are hard, I can see from the response that there is no real objection and that the need for Don to do this is understood.
Hope this helps everyone to understand, and yes, we do need to support our Tradition.
