Although on the surface the rise of the Pelorean Church has been an unparalleled success story some within the church
feel that much has been lost along the way. The Church has been a key force in the stabilisation and prosperity
of Reetland but many think the nation is becoming less spiritual with church attendances falling over the past century. As a result there is a small but growing movement within the church to return it to its basic principles and
surrender some of the huge wealth it has accumulated over its history. Others feel that this would gravely compromise the power of the church.
