Serf Biblical Training
A serf begins his spiritual training by learning the basic doctrines of faith. To best educate them on these, we utilize the book "30 Days to Understanding What Christians Believe in 15 Minutes a Day!" by Max Anders. This book can be purchased at any Christian book store and is the primary text book used, not only for serfs, but also for pages. Serf Biblical Training focuses on the 10 Basic Doctrines in the beginning of the book only. Each serf is required to read these chapters and fill in the blanks provided, including self tests in each chapter. It is required that they memorize each of the 10 doctrines with subpoints and their definitions as listed in the book. Additionally, they must also memorize the central passages for each doctrine in order to advance to page. These, together with the final test and selected Bible readings, are essential to meet the requirements of the Serf Biblical Training as mentioned in the advancement system.
In addition to the basic requirements of the training, however, each boy is given the opportunity of earning special honor through additional memorization of scriptures attached to each doctrine and it's subcategories. To mark the completion of these additional requirements, each serf is given periodic "Honor Beads" to display upon his person and are considered for the purposes of ranking in our order. These 6 beads are listed below. Beads are not required to advance, but participants are strongly encouraged to pursue them in the name of excellence and honor and those who do gain greater respect for their labor and dedication. Click on the name of the bead to see the list of required memorizations to earn it. (This list includes the Central Passages and Bible readings required for advancement as well.)
