Indigo sat at his desk, drumming his fingers calmly on his wooden desk. As he waited, he studied the paintings which cloaked the inside of his very office; so many secrets could be unfolded by looking at them closer, something he seldom did. Sounds of a typewriter in the background tapped away patiently; the nation although quite further into the future in relative to others did often revert into the older times of which had been held in the memories and hearts of men. Requested just an hour previously, Indigo was waiting for his copy of a letter to be handed upon his desk, signed on his behalf. He had gotten the idea in a dream a few month previously, something which held many untold mysteries. Why he had the dream was still a mystery to him, however why didnt matter, but whether he actually lived out these strange visions actually did.

With a startle, the paper was slid beneath his eyes, and Indigo put on his reading glasses, struggling what text had been written and authored in his name.

"... And it would be unreasonable to expect the hearts of man to be willing to cooporate, even if it was to save the
lives of others, perhaps even the faith itself. This said, with both eyes on the Lord above, one can only assume
that those who are true believers and followers of Christ would at least have the decency of listening to their
brothers and sisters, their bretheren abroad. For the fight and blood within our ranks have been shed far too long,
why can we not live in a a state of passive tolerance. Greater still would it be if these men would be willing to
change, to once again unify the Christian church into one entity, seperated only by the methods of worship. This
fight is not ours, the hatred only being bred into us by the foolish sins of our forefathers; and yet we continue these
subjective games. Like an Iron Fist could smash its flesh-type opponents, a unified faith would not only strengthen
ourselves in friendship and benefit across the board, but we could also expect the world to be at the mercy of
change, at the hands of an entity only known as one Christianity..."

He smiled as his essay written years previously, had been included in the letter which was to be sent to entities to perhaps across the entire globe or even the universe. Faith was not a topic to be taken lightly, especially when men such as Indigo was willing to address it. He was in general, a relaxed man, however within him bred a fiery passion for his country, his people, and furthermore; his God. Reading over more of the details, he noted the style of the invitation, which he was rather pleased with it. Soon, he would be enjoying the company of other faith believers, regardless of the denomination they came from.

OOC: Thinking about this from a neutral perspective, you are probably wondering what the heck this post is on about. Basically, this is the pretext of a giant faith conference, attempting to bridge the divisions between each and every denomination of Christianity. It is an "open" roleplay, but if I do ask you to discontinue posting then do, otherwise I am more than willing to gain myself some moderator intervention *Prods Hack :D*. Anyhow, it would be reasonable to formulate responses not of letters to my government, but basically just your character and peoples response to this announcement, and even them landing and making organisation to attend the meeting. Until my next post, you may not post any actual arrivals at the venue, but after-then, it will signify the official beginning of the convention.

And as a rule of thumb. I dont appreciate OOC comments, so please keep them to a level which there is NONE. Thankyou.

Judas stretched as he looked out over his garden. Behind him a great bronze crucifix was built into the wall of his office, behind his desk. He turned from the window as Simon Andwin, Bishop of the Imperial Faith and his First Assistant, entered quietly.

"Good afternoon, Simon"

"My lord Archbishop. You requested that any further documents relating to the Austar Union be taken directly to you..."

"Yes, what new piece of information has arrived?"

Wordlessly, Andwin handed his Archbishop the document, and waited as he read it.

"Thank you, Simon, see that the Lord Cleric's contingent in the Austar Union is informed of this. I am sure that it will prove useful to him. I will take it before the Holy Father and see who he wishes to attend."

"My lord...what if the Holy Father does not wish anyone to attend?"

"Then interesting things will happen. Lord Cleric Caotin is already speaking to their Fuhrer, and I hope that he will have enough tact to answer as the Holy Father wishes. Unfortunately, knowing Joseph Caotin, that may be too much to hope for. Still, I do not think that the Holy Father would refuse this - God's Voice Upon Earth will most likely be pleased at the opportunity."

OOC: This has been a not-so glamourous bump.
