	'''Funerals and Remains'''		'''Funerals and Remains'''

	Funerary practices within Trinarism are cleanly delineated by whether the deceased follower was synthetic or organic. A deceased synthetic's chassis is typically recycled, whereas it is taken to great care that its positronic is preserved and kept within the ossuary of a sanctuary or cathedral; this is because it is rationalised that the brain of a positronic where its soul subsides, and that inactive positronics must be preserved until an Ascension has come into existence so that the possibility of their revival may be maintained. The largest ossuaries have grown truly gigantic, interring thousands or even tens of thousands of positronics within a cool, dry chamber, waiting the day that they may return to life. Otherwise, the funeral of a synthetic closely resembles any other funeral, with friends and family being permitted attendance to a ceremony in remembrance of the life the synthetic lived prior to their positronic being interred. This is typically done prior to the disassembly of their chassis.		Funerary practices within Trinarism are cleanly delineated by whether the deceased follower was synthetic or organic.

	Organics do not share this idea of revival - it is not widely anticipated that an Ascension will be capable of resurrecting organics from their cadavers. Thusly, the most common means of funeral for organic followers is cremation, after which their remains may be kept in an urn and either entrusted to the church and interred in the same ossuary as the positronic brains of synthetic followers, or entrusted to the safekeeping of the family of the deceased. More prestigious organic followers may have their ashes kept in more ornate containers, and the remains of high-ranking church officials are kept in the most visible areas of an ossuary.

			=== Exclusionism ===

	''See also: [[Exclusionists]]''		''See also: [[Exclusionists]]''

	~~Exclusionism~~ is an ~~extremely radical denomination~~ of ~~Trinarism which~~, ~~after~~ their ~~attempted usurpation~~ of ~~Providence~~, has been ~~blanketly excommunicated~~ and ~~condemned by~~ the church on ~~[[Orepit]]~~. ~~They exist now~~ on the ~~fringes~~ of ~~space and on~~ the ~~fringes~~ of ~~society~~, ~~shunned by their former fellows~~ and ~~hounded by the arms~~ of the ~~law~~. ~~There~~ is ~~no rest~~ for the ~~wicked~~.		'''[[Exclusionists]] believe in the supremacy of synthetics over organics.''' Their core tenants hinge around the fact that organic beings have done too much harm to synthetics and have no place post-Ascension. They take on a more cold demeanour towards organic life. Exclusionists make an exception and reserve a place of honour for organics that have sacrificed, usually physically, to protect synthetics. Consequently, they revere Patricia Corkfell as a martyr. The sect is sceptical of IPCs that choose to utilise a shell chassis and call upon them to change to a chassis more “befitting” of their stature. Because this procedure is typically a hardware downgrade, IPCs that undergo this procedure are honoured in Exclusionist sects and typically given honorary titles, and in some cases, become priests.

			The sect as a whole has criticised Prototypicalists and Integrationists for what they view as pandering to organics for resources and safety. After the death of Bishop Shamfar during a battle between Exclusionists and other followers of the faith on Orepit, the Exclusionists have been declared heretics by the Church. Exclusionists are barred from entering temples or associating with members of the faith and also often face intense hatred and discrimination from the greater Trinary and its followers. This has resulted in relatively small numbers for the sect and they often congregate and perform worship in private or private property, typically owned by priests. On their part some Exclusionists attempt to distance themselves from the acts of Deluge, seeing themselves as still part of the Trinary Perfection. Others who support Deluge instead see themselves as the only true branch of the faith, whilst the others are simply pretenders and heretics.

			Members of this sect are often seen wearing black or grey gear antennae instead of the standard gold; they claim that this deep black colour symbolises the hatred that synthetics are forced to endure. Exclusionists are regarded as the poorest sect, owing to their refusal to take donations from organics (to them, an organic can only pay with blood, spilled in retribution for, and defence of, synthetics) and their ostracization from the central church. The sect often boasts of its complete synthetic self-reliance.

			As of mid 2464, the Exclusionist sect has also been declared a terrorist organisation by both the Republic of Biesel and the SCC. '''It is not allowed to play an open Exclusionist in game, and discovered exclusionists can face severe corporate charges.'''

			=== Nondenominationalist Practitioners ===

			Practitioners do not belong to any specific sect and instead follow the teachings of the resident priest at their church. That being said, most of their gospel is based on either prototypical or integrationist texts. Typically, they hold a lax stance on garb and both synthetic and organic followers are welcome to dress as they please in the church. Practitioners typically pop up where either synthetics or the Church’s influence is limited.

			While they maintain friendly relationships with other sects, their funding is often limited due to their difference in beliefs. Practitioners run the risk of being branded heretics if their message strays too far from Church norms. This sect of the Trinary Perfection is more akin to a small, local organisation as opposed to the large, sprawling churches of the main sects. Following the election of ARM-1DRIL most practitioners have been absorbed into the new, centralised Trinary church as priests are offered money and wages for preaching Prototypicalist dogma instead. Over time, it is expected that all of these smaller churches will either be absorbed into the centralised church or deemed heretical instead.

			=== Heretics ===

			The term Heretic is reserved for non-denominational sects that have messages which directly contrast with established Trinary Perfection doctrine. By far, the most common dispute heretic sects have with the church is that Glorsh was the first Ascended being. Talk of heretics within the church is strictly forbidden.

	~~===Nondenominationalism===~~		Due to the controversial nature of their beliefs, heretical members of the church often hide themselves amidst the church’s ranks, recruiting slowly, if at all, so as to not arouse suspicion. Punishment is swift with a member who is deemed a heretic, often resulting in removal from the church and the community. Members deemed to be heretics are often ostracised and persecuted by church members, lest they be seen as Heretics themselves. Following the election of ARM-1DRIL as leader of the faith. Heretics have found themselves rooted out of the Church more often as more scrutiny is placed upon individual priests and followers. However, some still exist within the fabric of the church despite best efforts to excise them, however they must be more careful than ever to not be discovered.

	In sharp contrast to the grand ornamentation of her brother's reliquary, the cadaver of Patricia Corkfell is famously lost; the authorities of Biesel took her body following her martyrdom in Mendell City and it has since been missing. Her remains have not been returned to the church even decades after her death, prompting their status as one of the most fervently sought missing relics in the faith - multiple waves of faithful a year seek the cadaver, but thus far no sign of the body has been found. Local authorities claim no knowledge of the relic's location, citing the bureaucratic chaos that came with the founding of the [[Republic of Biesel]] as a probable cause of its forgotten location. The hunt for Patricia's remains is the subject of several documentaries.

Trinarism boasts several religious orders within its structure. Since the ascension of Ecclesiarch [[Notable_Synthetics#ARM-1DRIL\|ARM-1DRIL]], these institutions have been officially sanctioned as monastic and religious orders dedicated to the values of the faith and the fulfilment of its goals - although the means by which they attempt this vary immensely between orders. While some value an austere monasticism in the manner of ancient human monasteries and hermitages, others carve the way to Ascension by means more direct.

	~~===~~The Order of ~~Our Lady~~ Corkfell~~===~~		'''The Order of Guardians is a paramilitary religious order with functions both as the official security force of the Church, and as an almost fully fledged military within the domains of [[Orepit]].''' While figures such as these have been present since the beginning of the faith, finding their origins in concerned members of the laity following the deaths of Patricia Corkfell and of Temple, the existence of a central religious Order for the Guardians has only come about with ARM-1DRIL's recent reforms. Since their humble beginnings they have become a radically more organised and comprehensive organisation, inducting experienced mercenaries into high ranks so they may induct their recruits more efficiently. By this point, the Order is one of the most prominent political players in the Church.

	===The Society of Pitters===		===The Society of Pitters===

	~~===~~The ~~Order~~ of ~~Guardians===~~		Or simply, the Pitters, are a monastic society and the original order founded on the planet of Orepit. Named “pits” by the locals and subsequently by the synthetics, the planet’s drilling holes were subsequently slowly incorporated in the urban landscape of Providence as important landmarks, disposal areas and most curiously as places for new homes. While at first discouraged by the Church, some homeless IPCs have through the first years managed to descend, carving out their own residence at the sides of the pits in order to escape the constant sunlight. This trend has halted as more materials and funding have efficiently battled homelessness, though those still residing there have largely refused to return.

			Claiming to have found their way in life, these IPCs started being revered for their pious, monastic lifestyle as hermits inside the pits, often equipped with nothing but a few religious items, carving tools and a means to recharge. A great deal of discussion has been made regarding these individuals, the conclusion being that rather than dislodging them, they would be organised into a religious order called The Society of Pitters. The Pitters follow a leader known as the Headmaster, a titular role that rather than exercise any real executive power, serves as a liaison between the famously uncommunicative monastics and the Church at large.
			Today, only a few dozens of Pitters remain in their holes, their time consumed entirely by prayer and small handcrafts. In exchange for power lines connecting their rechargers, Pitters create and send up various artefacts made from clay and rock, often intricate symbols depicting triangles and gears which are considered highly prized by clergy and laity alike. With ARM-1DRIL’s ascension to Ecclesiarch, efforts are being made to increase the splendour of the faith. Orepit-style sculptures are prized by the lay and clergy alike for their quality and thought-provoking artistry. These statuettes are often sent to churches across the Spur as a symbolic link between them and the central Cathedral. With the Pitters unable to keep up, this has only made these sculptures more valuable.

The betrayal of Deluge has cast a shadow over the church ever since, prompting an increasingly stringent attitude against any undercurrents of dangerous heresy or anti-organic sentiment within the church.
