The High Ecclesiastical Tribunal of A.T.U.

“Justice is the restoration of balance in alignment with Divine Law.”

The High Ecclesiastical Tribunal of Alchemia Templi Universale is the supreme juridical forum of the jurisdiction, entrusted with upholding Divine Law, Ecclesiastical Law, and the Codex of Ecclesiastical Law.

It is not a secular “court,” but a sacred tribunal where disputes, questions of law, and matters of conscience are heard and resolved in alignment with Ma’at — the eternal principles of truth, balance, and right order.

Authority

Rooted in the Codex of Ecclesiastical Law.
Final interpretive authority rests with the Table of 12, presided by the O.S.H.A.
Lower Trusts, Houses, or Ministries may hear local matters, but all appeals ascend to the Tribunal.
Decisions are binding within the jurisdiction of A.T.U. and are sealed in the Book of Holdings.

Function

The Tribunal serves to:

Interpret the Codex of Ecclesiastical Law in harmony with Divine Law.
Resolve disputes between Members, Trusts, or Ministries.
Ensure Trusts operate in lawful alignment with sacred principles.
Protect Members from unjust dominion where possible under spiritual law.
Safeguard the sovereignty of A.T.U. in its internal and external relations.

Composition

O.S.H.A. — spiritual adjudicator and custodian of ultimate harmony.
Table of 12— sitting in tribunal capacity, rendering judgment through dialogue, consensus, and sacred deliberation.
Clerks & Scribes — maintaining records and transmitting decrees.
Elders & Witnesses — affirming fairness and spiritual resonance of proceedings.

Principles of Judgment

The Tribunal judges not by secular precedent, but by eternal principles:

Truth – alignment with Divine revelation and conscience.
Balance – restoring harmony to members, communities, and trusts.
Equity – ensuring fairness, dignity, and respect.
Sacred Order – fidelity to the cosmic architecture of Ma’at.

"Here, to render judgment is to heal the fracture of order; to govern in law is to serve the sacred."
