Ecclesiast (ek-kleesi-ast)

An Ecclesiast is a high rank of priest within the Pantheon of Heaven faith. They are in charge of all matters pertaining to a large temple, rectory or ecclesiastry. There are only two ranks higher than Ecclesiast in the faith: a Grand Ecclesiast and a Hagiarch. Ecclesiasts are elevated from the ranks of the priesthood by the recommendations of their superiors within the Ecclesiarchy and are approved by any single member of the Hagiarchy. They typically are seen as the chief administrators of large or historically significant Temples, rectories, or other ancillary operations of the Faith. They can also be assistants or delegates for the operations of larger Grand Temples or Orders.
