Priests of Sritch are strongly encouraged to pursue a life of sparse need and avoid a focus on earthly possessions or property. When an individual first enters one of the Sun Lord's seminaries, he surrenders his family name and takes on a name assigned by the church. As part of that act, the would-be priest turns over his land and property to the church's coffers, including any inheritances.
The main text is the Holy Light of Sritch. The most popular version has been translated into a dozen languages and has undergone several minor revisions and alterations throughout the years, usually with the intent of keeping the work relevant to modern audiences. The lesser known Orthodox version has not been changed since it's original writing, at least according to its adherents. There is a small but strong faction within the Sritch church that considers the Orthodox text to be the only authentic version. To them, the translations into modern Common are unofficial and considered heretical.
