The start

As I mentioned in my introduction, back in the Summer of 2009, I had been looking for something, a gift as it were for my daughter, Seraphina. I had fun giving out heraldic title. My youngest daughter is Lady Alexendria, when I purchase a small square of land on an estate in Scotland. She had fun with that and my other daughter mentioned she would like to be a Knight. She wanted to be Dame Seraphina. So, doing an internet search, I was trying to find out "how to make my daughter a Knight". What I found surprised me. I bumped into an advertisement of the Celtic Church of Yahweh that was not offering some honourary title, for a nominal fee (as most were quite willing to do), but they had a different plan. They wanted to make "Real Knights".
Their program was a spiritually based (ancient spiritual order) program where people would start as Brothers (Sisters) in a monastic orders with the intention over the years of growing and becoming a recognized Knight within this ancient religious order. I was sincerely impressed. I ambandoned my search for an honourary title for my daughter and began to read more and more.
Their web sites were attractive. Their ideals were high. The prospect was exciting. I decided to apply to the order, as did my daughter, Seraphina. Days went by, and no answer, weeks rolled by and I decided that this group was an idea that probably just never worked out. I had decided to abandon the idea, but then (on Oct 17) I got an e-mail from a Pastor Fears welcoming me to the order. Then I got a second e-mail from a Brother Theo with a similar welcome. They had a spiritual training program they were going to send. They understood my Bible college and Seminary background so they knew it would not be difficult.
That was the last correspondence I had with them.
I loved the concept and was disappointed that they were obvious struggling to put this in motion. This last weekend, in a discussion with my wife I made a decision. I would request the authorization from the Celtic Church of Yahweh to run the North Shire (Canada). In my note I told them that my intention was to act either under their authorization, or to start another order under almost identical principles. I sent my e-mail on March 1 (and have not been surprised by the lack of an immediate response). On March 1, I also found that the web site were presently disabled. These posts are the journey (primarily of myself, and my eldest son, Joshua) to knighthood.
