Jestor Ministers are called to be servants among the people.

Jestor They are to teach and to admonish, to nourish and to support, and to guide the people through the confusions of life, that they may grow in knowledge and wisdom of the Force.
Jestor As Jedi they are to protect the peace and defend the weak.
Jestor As Ministers they are to uplift the spirit through the guidance of the Doctrine and the wisdom of the Force.
Jestor With the qualities of compassion, understanding, tolerance and acceptance, they are to open their arms to embrace the community and to provide counsel in times of need.
Jestor They are to minister to the sick and prepare those who are transitioning from this world and back to the Force, supporting all those who are affected by such changes.
Jestor Standing together with their brothers and sisters, they are to provide light through the darkness, that the whole Church may be built up in unity and faith.
Jestor In addition to this, Ordination is a commitment for life.
Jestor It can only be rescinded in the most severe of circumstances as this is a contract between the Minister and the Force, a dedication to serving the people through the Doctrine and the guidance of the Force.
Jestor This promise is written on the soul and strengthens every fiber of the spirit; as such it is not to be taken lightly and without due consideration.
