In Memorium The Editors of the C&S Red Book would like to dedicate their efforts to the memory of Jan Vrapcenak who passed away in the fall of 1998. READ ONLY VERSION This Read Only Version of Red Book may be freely distributed as long as there is no charge for doing do. The free distribution of this version maintains the copyright and trademarks claimed above. 3 Forward It has been over two decades since C& S first saw the light of day. The first edition was printed in a red cover, which is why this new edition is called Red Book. What follows is a new edition, as we could not simply reprint what had been done in 1977. As much as possible of the original text has been preserved. C&S Red Book is a reprinting of the original 1977 edition of C&S which was produced with a distinctive red cover. It was at the time and is now a complete role playing game in one volume. C&S Red Book is the result of a lengthy process and the editors want to thank all those who assisted in the task. We would especially like to thank Terry Austin of Hyperbooks On Line for his invaluable assistance in scanning the text of the 1977 edition. We would also like to acknowledge the inspiration of those members of the Loyal Order of Chivalry & Sorcery who kept the flame of C&S burning all these years. The original edition of 128 pages 5 point type was very difficult to read - this edition is we hope more user friendly and easier to read. Players may find that some of the concepts involved in character generation and other systems in the text no longer fit with current role playing fashion. One which is no longer current is the idea that fate hands you a character - in C&S Red Book players can choose the occupation of their character after considering what fate in the form of random dice rolls has handed them. Players familiar with subsequent editions of C&S know that this aspect is no longer a feature of the game. In the 22 years since the original publicationof C &S the role playing hobby has grown and matured away from its roots in minature war gaming to interactive story telling. C&S Red Book is well within the domain of the simulationist side of role playing but those who prefer story telling to simulation will still profit from the topic covered by this updated edition. 4

Prince Charles-Philippe Marie Louis of Orléans, Duke of An- jou and , Grand Master Emeritus; and Commandeur Bruce Sebree at the Chapter General in Rome As our wonderfully moving sojourn at the Order’s Chapter General in Rome now settles into inspiring memories, we must take stock of our tasks and talents as the next three years will be particularly important for the Order. Internationally, we march to- wards achieving canonical status as an Association of the Faithful, which several of our Grand Priories have already attained na- tionally. We must continue to work hard to grow our order. We must also do more to spread our message of hope, by helping those who are lost or in need. Yes, our work is fun and we are energized by our mission of mercy! So let’s give thanks for our growth in spirit, in numbers, and in our contributions to making a better world. Let’s also rejoice that our Grand Mas- ter H. E.

  • OLJ Brochure Copy
    of About the Order The Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem is an international Christian chivalric Order. It is non-political, ecumenical and non-denominational, its membership is by invitation and is open to men and women who are practising members of the Christian faith in good standing within their particular denomination. Its international membership consists of Roman Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, Orthodox and other Christian denominations. Its members are committed to seeking to live their lives with charity in a manner that embodies the Christian spirit. The Order is dedicated to the care and assistance of the poor and the defence of the Christian faith and the principles of Christian chivalry. The Order has been in continual existence since the year 1098 and was established in Australia in 1979. The Grand Priory of Australia comprises seven Commanderies centred on the various capital cities. Membership is confined to a Commandery. Commandery activities include meetings, special religious services and fundraising events. Once a year a National Chapter- effectively a general meeting of the Grand Priory – is held in a capital city over four days and to which all members are invited. A highlight of the National Chapter weekend is the Investiture of new members and the advancement in rank or award of others. Benefits of Membership According to our Christian beliefs, charity is held to be the ultimate expression of the human spirit, bringing us closer to the true essence of God. The activities of the Order attempt to bring its members towards this state of grace through application of charitable giving and hands-on charitable activities.

  • Taking the Veil: Clothing and the Transformation of Identity
    Taking the Veil: Clothing and the Transformation of Identity Danielle Rives Centre d'anthropologie de Toulouse (E.H.E.S.S.) I spoke my name in religion. He asked me for my family name as well. I spoke it out loud without shame because In such an encounter, Speaking our name, When I want to renounce it for Him, Is like speaking the name of God.1 Most female monastic rules include a description of a ceremony for taking the veil: "Receiving the Habit," "Offering the Habit," "Ceremony for Veiling and Profession" – the variety of descriptions emphasizes the solemnity of a celebration in which postulants enter into a new estate. This essay analyzes both the symbolic and material aspects of this moment in which identity is transformed. Taking the veil is a rite of passage whose every aspect, including both gesture and speech, has been carefully formalized. This essay focuses first on the ceremony's script, in which clothing draws together the postulant, her family and friends, and the monastic community that welcomes her. I then turn to an analysis of the transformation of the novice's identity, examining both how the performance of the ordinary acts of monastic life 1 Angélique de Saint Jean Arnaud d'Andilly, Aux Portes des ténèbres. Relation de captivité (Paris: La Table Ronde, 2005), 30-1. 465 466 Danielle Rives reveals this new identity and how the nun inhabits this doubled personality. The traditional ceremony has origins dating back to the beginning of monastic institutions, but it assumed its present form during the Counter Reformation.

    THE ORDER The Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem Spring 2016 In This Issue Spiritual Message Grand Prior’s Message Member Spotlight New GPA Website 2016 GPA Review WINTER 2016 GPA NEWSLETTER VOLUME 48, ISSUE 3 Winter 2016 -THE ORDER- Page Spiritual Message (Delivered by The Very Rev. Dr. Richard Miles at the Vigil service for the 2016 GPC) “Keep Watch to Serve!” Luke 12:35-38 “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are watching for their master to re- turn...” These words of our Lord speak to what we do here this night. From ancient times those about to be knighted, and those preparing for promotion in that quest, have been required to watch; that is, to keep a vigil, with lamps lit and dressed for action in full armor, through the night, in preparation for the accolade. Most of us are well acquainted with the idea of a vigil. Many of us were first introduced to it in college. Remember the “all-nighter”? It’s that great college tradition of staying awake from sundown on one day, through the long night, and well past sunup the next day, cramming our brains with information, both review and new, in the last-ditch quest for a decent grade on our finals. We remember that, in the desperate effort to stave-off ever encroaching sleep, and keep energy levels up, we fueled ourselves on sugary snacks, Rahman noodles, and strong (and usually very bad) coffee. Amazingly, sometimes, it actually worked. But, as important a tradition as the college all-nighter was to many of us, it holds only a shadow of the impact in a knight’s vigil.
