Kyiv-Novgorod Shrekism
Template:Religion Template v2.0
Kyiv-Novgorod Shrekism (Kiev Russian: Hовгородско-Kиевский шрекизм), also known as Eastern Shrekism, is a small denominational sect of Shrekism found in the Kievan Rus and other areas of East Europe.
History
Tictachead69 migrated after his failed Antarctic colony and went into an even colder place known as Russia. He found a place to settle and founded the Kievan Rus in name of the Saxon King and became the Grand Prince. The local population was converted, but the local clergy made special compromises to convert that ultimately led to fundamental change in theology and liturgy of the Shrekist faith in Rus.
Officially the denomination hasn't officially been declared and technically isn't schismatic, but at this point it is technically a denomination and the Grand Prince does practice it, rather than main Shrekism, and the clergy is entirely independent to the lay-preacher clergy back in Saxony and the German Confederation. Today, it is the "un"official state faith of the Kievan Rus and is practiced around Russia.
Practices
Eastern Shrekism has several differences, one of which is a seperation between the clergy and the people; main religious preachers have proclaimed themselves clergy over the population and select their own members through elective investiture, while the population can no longer preach and be considered clergy in their own right.
