ORDER OF CONNLA TO "GO BENE GESSERIT" Prince William, the eldest son of King Henry of Papcastle, has today spoken of the Order of Connla copying approaches taken by the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood in taking a deep interest in education. The Prince is a member of the prestigious Order of Connla which is tasked with ensuring the future of the Lorchist faith. The Prince announced that the Order is to invest some $30million to establish a series of schools outside of Eskdale. The 35 year old Prince is a former officer in the Military Police and joined the Order after being invited in 2017. He has been one of the more public faces of the Order which is still in many ways rather reclusive. The Prince spoke from Papcastle's capital, Whaw and said, "The Lorchist faith is in good health in the United Kingdoms. We have done well to ensure it resists challenges from other faiths but it must spread and thrive beyond its natural homeland. We have witnessed the approach taken by the Bene Gesserit and they have done an incredible job in protecting and promoting their faith and I believe that it stems from their attitude towards education. A wise man once said knowledge is power and that is truly the case. We have agreed today in principle to establish a pair of schools in different locations across Mundus and while we will teach a broad range of knowledge the philosophy and values of the school shall be shaped by our faith. Now we shall work to find a good location."
The Order have already got three schools in Eskdale, one in each Kingdom, while also helping fund a theological college. The leader or the Lorchist faith, Deacon William Oakdale, said he was pleased the Order was taking these steps. "The entire Lorchist faith should help spread the word of the Almighty. In that mission the Order of Connla are just the vanguard. This is an interesting idea and I fully support them, as I will always. I will be working carefully with the Order, in particular Prince William, to ensure that any such expansion is as successful as it can be."
