"We welcome a new sister into our community of the Kobolian Faith.
By presenting yourself here today, you Aphrodite, a new member of our number, acknowledge and accept the ways and practice of our fellowship that has been taught and passed down to us from generation to generation, by the Lords of Kobol.
In performing this ceremony publicly today, we as representatives of the community declare that you Aphrodite, have joined us under the eyes of God, with dignity and freedom, as an individual, unique and precious to God.
In this act we witness the initiation and the accepting of the ideals, friendship, peace and justice, which you have so freely and consciously chosen to follow and dedicate yourself to.
We, as representatives of the community, also acknowledge our responsibility in providing a safe haven, spiritually and physically, in which our new sister may be nurtured daily in wisdom and strength.
May our new member, which we have accepted into our community of ideals and friendship, receive a abundantly the blessings of health, love, knowledge and wisdom, and in turn give back richly to the common heritage that endures from generation to generation.
We welcome you Aphrodite.
We welcome you Aphrodite into the fellowship of life, and dedicate you to the service of freedom, righteousness and love. May your life continue to be rich in vision, full in accomplishment and afire with the highest of ideals.
We anoint you with the sacred oil taken from the holy Temple under the Star of Kobol in Eden.
As we touch the crown of your head with the symbol of the faith of the Lords of Kobol, we declare you, Kobolian.
Let us pray: Lords for the gift of our new sister, who's friendship and contributions we rejoice in and give thanks. May she be a credit to our community, to the family that bore her and nurtured her, but also to herself and to the children that she in her turn may bring, or have brought, into life.
May the Lords of Kobol watch over her from this day forward, blessing her and strengthening him/her in their service, so that she may walk on his/her new path set before her without hesitation and without faltering but with unwavering faith.
May it be so."
Siress: "Welcome Aphrodite to our loving community! May all blessings be yours today and always!
May it be so!"
(A warm reception will be held in your honor in the Lounge! Everyone is welcome!)
