Religious Structures

Research into religious structures. Needed to form schools to educate use of the network and the connection.


Roman Catholic - 


Pope as the 'shepherd of Christ's flock' == Overall guidelines for network use
College of Bishops - a council, each bishop heads a Diocese == City council and the suburbs
Within the Diocese are parishes == Suburb hubs
Priests head the parishes == Suburb community leaders within the hubs
The Laity - baptised but not ordained to the ministry == The General Public who visit the hubs and are educated in what the network can do and expected / ethical behaviour


Ancient Egypt - 


Ma'at - Principle which ordered the universe. Chaotic forces outside of creation are trying to destroy it, so it must be actively upheld
The Divine is present everyday, everywhere. Religion is not a word, it is in everything. 
Prayer is directed towards aspects of life, e.g. weather, farming, fertility
and gods head each aspect.


The King is the mediator between a god and the people. He is a living god. 
A temple is a 'cosmic center by which men had communication with the gods'
