Comments/criticisms for the Order website
Sir William:
I do. If I were looking for a strictly faith-based society, I think I'd be out of luck, not having a specific religion that I'm bound to. :)
Sir Patrick:
If we took a census today of the Order's members, none of us could check all the same boxes about our backgrounds/beliefs/ages/what-have-you anyway, so it seems pretty much a non-issue. It's the pursuit of the chivalric path that binds us together--end of story. BTW, IMHO I think that other group is being a bit narrow regarding Christianity as the only faith acceptable for chivalry. We already have a thread going on the forum about the Islamic chivalric system of Sufi, and we should not forget that most samurai were Buddhists. On a local level, chivalry may have religious flavorings, but the core principles are universal.
SirNathanQ:
Hah, If were going by the religious extreme historical accuracy path, then only catholics would be allowed to have a kit dating earlier than early-mid 16th century!
Really, that mode of thinking is extremely narrow-minded and basically rude. Really. Even crusading knights in history had good relationships w/ their equivalents in Islam, and Saladin became a CHIVALROUS hero in Europe. Chivalry in period was not bound by religion.
and Paladin, no problem. I'm sure you would have done the same for me (although my COA is only sable and argent, so it's not too hard to mess up :D)
Sir Ulrich:
I'd like to join this group. Only issue is my kit is a bit lacking as of now, but once I get my mail hauberk I think my kit would be deemed acceptable.
Sir Patrick:
Don't sweat the hauberk. I don't have one yet either, but I'm in. You get time to get your kit in order, so long as it's in reasonable shape to start with.
