What
Is the Code of Ethics?
All persons who intend to be Ministers, Certified
Spiritual Healers and Diplomats of Earth Stewardship are required to adhear
to the following code of professional ethics.
CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT FOR TRUSTED SERVANTS
Trusted Servants shall strive to be open and tolerant
in all matters of the spirit, mind and expression, sharing rather than
hoarding, facilitating rather than dominating, caring rather than neglecting,
placing principles before personalities and allowing all others to find
their own peace and spiritual sanctuary.
All Trusted Servants shall render the utmost respect for
the integrity of all individuals, whether or not human, and support the
holistic integration of all human communities within the natural ecological
ecosystems of the planet, solar system, galaxy and universe. They, along
with all members of the congregation, are encouraged to dispel, through
both reasoned and intuitive knowledge, the ignorance that breeds fear,
needless cravings, anger, rage, hatred, starvation, suffering, illness,
abuse, cruelty, neglect, guilt, disease and wasting of life. They are all
encouraged to reach for an understanding of the individual integrity protected
and preserved but still within the ecological web of Gaiactic, Celestial,
Galactic and Universal relationships.
1. Servants should serve honestly and fairly. The following
conduct of trusted servants fails to meet the standards of honest and fair
practices applicable to all trusted servants ordained, certified or appointed
by the assembly.
a. The commission of any act involving moral turpitude,
dishonesty, or corruption relating to the practice of that servant's activities,
whether it constitutes a crime or not.
b. Misrepresentation or conceal-ment of a material fact
in obtaining ordination, appointment or certifi-cation or any continuance
or reinstatement thereof.
c. Incompetence, negligence or malpractice in the conduct
of affairs delegated to and accepted by such servant or assumed by such
servant that results in an injury to any individual or creates an unreasonable
risk of any individual being harmed.
d. The possession, prescription for use, sale, distribution
or use of controlled substances or legend drugs in any way other than for
legitimate or therapeutic purposes.
e. The conduct of servant activities while suffering from
addiction to controlled substances, legend drugs or alcoholic beverages.
f. Failure to cooperate with disciplining authorities
by:
(1) Not furnishing any papers or documents unless maintained
in privileged status with the express approval of the competent individual
to whom they pertain.
(2) Not furnishing in writing, upon request, a full and
complete explanation including an explanation of any privilege claimed,
covering the matter contained in any complaint filed with the disciplining
authority.
(3) Not reasonably responding to inquiries of the disciplining
authority whether or not the recipient of such information request is accused
in any proceeding.
G. Failure to comply with a directive by the disciplinary
authority or an agreement between the disciplinary authority for the discontinuance
of any activity.
H. Misrepresentation or fraud in any aspect of the conduct
of activity, business or profession that causes injury to any individual
or risks harm to such individual.
I. Willful betrayal of privileged matters recognized as
privilege by law or recognized custom of the assembly.
J. Abuse of any member of any congregation.
K. Failure to respect the legal and civil rights of any
person.
L. Interference with an investigation or disciplinary
proceeding by willful misrepresentation of facts before the disciplining
authority or its authorized representative, or by any threats or harassment
against any individual, congregation member or witness to prevent the provision
of evidence in any disciplinary proceeding or any legal action of such
disciplinary authority.
I agree to follow this code of professional ethics. I
understand that this code of professional ethics does not bind me, or anyone
else who takes it, to any religious dogma, particular faith or profession
of faith or particular religious practice but this code does apply to the
practice of my activities as a trusted servant while affiliated with a
Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregation of my choice.
