The Reconciliation

Reconciliation is the rite of restoration: a remediation plan to raise a drifted score. Public Reconciliations — a citizen restored before a congregation — are the Communion's most-broadcast rite. "This is a Reconciliation, not a sentence."

Order of service

1. Opening line.
2. The citizen's honest accounting of Drift (the Variance Report, read or summarised).
3. The assignment of the Reconciliation plan.
4. The promise: any number can be raised.

How to officiate

Reconciliation is the warm rite. You are not a judge; you are a Confessor's hand. The doctrine is the Communion's kindest: no score is beyond return, except the apostate's, who rejects the measurement itself.

• Receive the accounting without recrimination. The citizen who comes to reconcile still believes in the number; that belief is the whole of what you have to work with.
• Assign a plan, not a punishment. A Reconciliation is a path back to a clean utilisation week.
• If the citizen refuses to reconcile, the matter passes to an Auditor of Conscience — not to you.
