WELCOME TO PRIESTHOOD NATION
A nation of purpose,
consciousness
and creation.
We are inheritors of existence, custodians of the present, and participants in the creation of what is yet to become.
THE FOUNDING PROPOSITION
We are not merely observers of existence.
We are participants in its continuing development.
Priesthood Nation is the parent spiritual and philosophical institution of distinct priesthoods united by shared principles of knowledge, restoration, creation and responsibility.
Read our Founding Declaration
One purpose.
Many expressions.
Our Nation is constituted through shared responsibility, not territory or ancestry. It is a home for people who understand their lives as opportunities to cultivate knowledge, restore what has been diminished and create what is yet to become.
What is Priesthood Nation?OUR FOUNDATION
Seven principles.
One shared philosophy.
The ideas connecting different callings across the Nation.
Existence
We participate in a reality greater than our individual lives.
Consciousness
Awareness makes reflection and responsibility possible.
Restoration
Recover, renew and transform what has been diminished.
Creation
Imagine and bring responsible possibilities into being.
Knowledge
Inquire, learn, test and remain open to correction.
Responsibility
Freedom and capability carry obligations to others.
Continuity
Consider what future generations will inherit.
Honouring what exists.
Building what is yet to come.
One responsibility calls us to restore. Another invites us to create. Both ask what our work will mean for those who follow.

THE NATION'S LIBRARY
Ideas are an
inheritance.
Our library is the home of declarations, developing manuscripts, books, essays and inquiry. Each work belongs to a source and a purpose; together they form a body of knowledge that can be questioned, developed and transmitted.

greater than one calling.
