Dear Fellow Dames and Chevaliers,
Forum Discussion at the Grand Priory Germany
My Thoughts on the Restructuring of the Order of St. Stanislaus:
Following the current global trend of sociopolitical change, our Order, even as a small unit of world society, is in a constant process of improving its activities.
If we consider our original Constitution, revived by the Founder and first Grand Master and reviver of our Order, the 7th Grand Master of this Order, as a historical organizational relic that provides guidelines for our existence and activities, in order to continue to exist in the new reality, we must perfect our existence in the 21st century and constantly improve the norms for our existence in today's reality. We must assume that the founding Constitution was developed in the reality of a monarchical system.
We live today in a time in which democratic currents determine our legal and everyday rules.
In such a situation, shouldn't we view our organization from this perspective?
Wouldn't it be possible for national Priories to exist and function without, for example, the function of a Grand Master or Grand Chapter?
I'm putting this idea up for discussion.
All priories would operate independently and without mutual influence, strengthening their activities through mutual support.
