Chapter Two: The Host
"If thou shouldst never see my
face again, pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer than
this world dreams of. " Alfred Lord Tennyson
The local Host is a branch off of
the Heretic Cult known as the Host. They believe
that the being people know as angels are actually the dead adding
the living. Local Host members don't seem to make any
assumptions of god's intent. It is
stated that through helping others the Host may in fact find salvation.
Does God not reward good deeds? Being
under the Host's protection doesn't mean you must join the
"faith" though over time many who have come to merely
enjoy Father Eren's hospitality have joined his faith.
