I am pleased to announce that The Man of Earth Delegate Nominating Panel is now fully operational and is accepting applications from O.T.O. initiates of the II° who are interested in volunteering as Man of Earth Delegates to speak on behalf of the entire Man of Earth Triad in accordance with Book 194.
The recently created MOE Delegate Nominating Panel, currently comprising 30 representatives from across the United States, has been diligently working with me to create a seamless selection process of the four Man of Earth Delegates to provide the Man of Earth Triad with a strong voice within Ordo Templi Orientis.
From Book 194: In order that the feelings of the general body may be represented, the Men of Earth choose four persons, two men and two women, from among themselves, to stand continually before the face of the Father, the Supreme and Holy King, serving him day and night. These persons must not be of higher rank than the Second Degree; they must volunteer for this service at the conclusion of that ceremony; and therefore they give up their own prospect of advancement in the Order for one year, that they may serve their fellows. This is then the first lesson in our great principle, the attainment of honour through renunciation. – BAPHOMET XI°
If you are interested in applying for a Man of Earth (MOE) Delegate position, please contact your current local body Nominating Panel Representative for more information and an application packet. You may also contact the Nominating Panel Secretary, Frater Erebus, at salemmagick15 [at] yahoo [dot] com. Completed applications should be presented to the Nominating Panel Secretary for review and processing.
For inquiries concerning the new MOE Delegate selection process and general structure of the Nominating Panel, please contact the Nominating Panel Chairman, Frater Kakoupat, at kakoupat [at] gmail [dot] com.
Note: Invitations have been sent to all forty-eight local bodies within the United States asking each to provide a Nominating Panel Representative to sit on the U.S.G.L. MOE Delegate Nominating Panel to effect a more democratic selection process of the four MOE Delegates - two men and two women. These Nominating Panel Representatives not only help to select the four delegates but act as contact points at each local body for this important program. The Nominating Panel continues to welcome appointments of Nominating Panel Representatives from local body leadership. Please contact the Office of the Nominating Panel Secretary for more information.
