PRIMACY OF TRADITION’S BYLAWS
Although individual Correllian Temples, Shrines and Orders may have their own internal bylaws to govern their daily running, the creation of which is largely up to them, in all relations between the Tradition and its Temples, Shrines, Orders, etc… the Tradition’s bylaws have precedence over the internal bylaws of said Temples, Shrines, and Orders.
WITHDRAWAL OF RECOGNITION
The Correllian Tradition reserves the right to extend or withdraw its imperium at its own discretion, as decided by the Heads and Officers of the Tradition through the office of the Chancellor. No other conditions including custom, tradition, or prevailing opinion, shall take precedence over the discretion of the Heads and Officers of the Tradition with the sole exception of these bylaws.
Any Charters or Recognition given by the Tradition may also be withdrawn by the Tradition for any reason whatsoever which the Heads of the Tradition shall see fit. Similarly, recognition of Priestly Degrees may also be withdrawn if, in the opinion of the Heads of the Tradition, the initiate has profaned their initiation and forsworn their Priesthood through breaking their initiatory vows or through unworthy acts against society or the Tradition itself. (In instances of self-initiation, where the actual ceremony has been performed without the presence of a High Priest/ess, it shall be assumed that the customary vows are used.)
By the same token, those who are under the Tradition’s imperium whether by Outer Court Membership, Priestly initiation, or holding the status of a Recognized or Chartered body of the sorts outlined above, shall be free to leave the Traditions imperium at their own discretion. This shall be a simple matter of notifying the Tradition except in the case of Chartered bodies. In the case of Chartered bodies a process shall be established for the purpose of making sure that the rights of the individual members are respected, and that any properties being used by the Chartered body but actually belonging to the Tradition shall be returned to the Tradition.
CHANGING THE BY-LAWS
The Correllian Tradition reserves the right to alter these by-laws in whatever manner we shall deem appropriate as the need shall arise. At this time it has pleased the Heads and Elders of the Correllian Tradition that the power to alter the by-laws be vested exclusively in the office of Chancellor, who is alone empowered to by virtue of said office to execute any changes in the by-laws.
The most recent revision of these bylaws took place on 7 April, Year 2 Aquarius (2002 AD).
