Dear friends,
I would like to welcome Sarfaraz Berger, my successor as Vice President of the Knighthood of Purity, to her new role. She has been dedicated to the Knighthood for many years and has demonstrated commitment and initiative in a variety of ways. She has an infectious energy and enthusiasm that will bring fresh life to the Knighthood.
I am announcing that those who wish to take up work with the Rules or have completed a set of Rules, and those who wish to begin the Adab Curriculum or start the Emerald Contemplations, please contact Sarfaraz at knighthood@inayatiyya.org. She will manage ordinations, certificates for completing stages in the process, and arranging for knighting ceremonies. Instructions on the Knighthood webpage for contacting her will be updated some time this month.
I wish to thank my partner in Europe, Alia Nur Arnesen, for her friendship and for the joy of working together. I would also like to thank the Knighthood Council in the United States for their support and collaboration, especially in the development of the Emerald Contemplations. And I would like to thank the national Knighthood leaders in France, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Turkey, Chile, New Zealand, and Australia for their leadership and support.
Groups working together on the Rules have formed in Wales, Scotland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Turkey, Chile, and the United States. Thank you to those knights who have organized and watch over these groups.
Ya Fattah (the pledge of the knight), Suhrawardi
