| [[The Doctrines of the Faith]] are the foundational pillars of the Imperial Faith and the Way. They represent the distilled wisdom and knowledge Synod priests across the ages in statements. In essence, the doctrines define the Imperial Religion and the beliefs that it imparts as part of teaching a virtuous life to the citizens of the Empire.
| |
| | |
| The wilful rejection, or perversion of, the Doctrines of the Faith, or actively teaching and promoting False Doctrines is defined as [[Religious Crimes|heresy]], which is a religious crime. Consequently, what is, and is not, doctrine and the wording of those doctrines, is an ongoing debate within the Synod. It is also the means by which definitive answers are provided to settle religious debates and controversies.
| |
| | |
| Given the significance of doctrine, only the majority support of the General Assembly can add, remove or amend doctrines of the faith. This requires a greater majority of the General Assembly.
