Introduction

The Holy Father’s purpose and guidance for a unified Brotherhood.

Introduction Everything done in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is ONE. Certain questions have been raised as regards certain procedures and practices in various stations in the fold.

There is only One Leader and Teacher in the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. He is the Holy Spirit, the Triune .God, personified in Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. The Sole Spiritual Head. Whatever is done in the Brotherhood fold in all planes of creation should be as we see Him do or as He directs or teaches. We must not imagine things or do anything of our own volition or introduce doctrines or procedures and practices that are not in accordance with His divine instructions and directives.

To ensure uniformity and remove doubts from the minds of brethren, the Holy Spirit directed that a comprehensive Handbook be written for the guidance and adherence of brethren in the fold. This document is a compilation of the direct instructions and directives of the Holy Father and as such the official book of procedures and guidelines for the Brotherhood world. This handbook is Supreme over all others.

Thank You Father.
