  Article 22- Women  
22.1 Women  
  In the old ways and in respect of old traditions, it has been the fundamental belief of covenant with the Great Spirit that women shall serve men. This has been the tradition and this has been the law since the earliest of covenants.  
  To those most austere and observant to the wisdom of The prophets and the saints, the position of women is their burden for the stories of betrayal and cunning in the history of the tribe. That women is more intuitive than man. That women is more in tune with nature than men and for this men have always felt threatened.  
22.2 The new covenant of this Covenant  
  If it be so that the old covenant sealed the fate of all women to be less than men because of the loss of the grace of One Great Spirit and wisdom, let it be known that women shall symbolize the return of the grace of One Great Spirit to all his faithful and to all mankind whether they believe in him or not.  
  For the home lost is now the jewel regained in the Covenant. The scattering of the faithful to be the food for wolves and liars is now the gift of this Covenant to form One One Spirit Tribe to the glory of the wisdom of One Great Spirit.  
  In all respects he offers us his grace to return to his home. To be at peace. To be at one. He offers us back in to the infinite wisdom of his knowledge and power, if only we see beyond our blind arrogance at the truth of these words.  
  And in return he expects us all to respect the laws of this new covenants as set forth in this Covenant.  
22.3 The equality of women  
  That by this Covenant, this new covenant that women shall be respected as equals to men. That in matters of faith and worship they shall be given equal access and equal access before the almighty One Great Spirit.  
  That by this Covenant women shall not be restricted in anyway in respect to the modesty of dress and appearance. It is out of the respect of women we see the wisdom of the almighty in bring harmony and equality to Earth once more.  
  In respect to those who prefer the old ways and worship to the rule of the old covenant in peace and respect then the Great Order of Austerity shall be formed to support and respect these customs. By these customs, women may choose to continue to wear garmets of strict code and to be separate from the most holy of worship. But this shall be by choice.  
  Excluding those that follow the Great Order of Austeriry , by this Covenant any member of the faithful of One Spirit Tribe that shall deny women equal respect before the Lord, or shall seek to keep women in a place of slavery and subservience shall be in defiance of this Covenant and liable for exile from One Spirit Tribe.  
  For those men of no austerity that choose to defy such words, let it be the faithful women of One Spirit Tribe that take up this document and make it so.
