The Independent Imperial Church Of America
We are the Independent Imperial Church of America. We hold titles different from other councils. This is not done to scam anyone, nor is it fraudulent. This is merely to hold ourselves apart from other churches and councils. We are both a social organization and a religious one. The titles we give to our directors, clergy and our members are strictly religious and organizational based and we do not claim them to be royal titles, Nor, do we sell these titles. Each of these titles must be earned, in some fashion or another. These titles may, or may not, be used in everyday, nonsecular life. It is up to the members to research this. However most secular titles (Priest, Reverend, Bishop, Doctor, etc) have been allowed in most areas of non secular life.
