Mid-Week Update, July 25 – August 1

And here’s a look at the news from around the Empire during the last week.

EMPEROR TAKES ABSENCE, DECLARES RECENGY

GENEVA- His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Edgard II, has taken an unexpected leave of absence from the capital for an as of yet undetermined period of time, and has declared Christopher McQueeny, Duke of Breisenlau, as Imperial Regent. The Duke has taken leave from the Assembly for the duration of the Regency. His Excellency has stated that he would do his best to fill the Emperor’s shoes during his absence, and would try to make judgement calls based on what he believes the Emperor would do.

Alasdair Donaldson Elected as Archbishop of Geneva

GENEVA- On Monday, July 30, The Sacred College of the Church of Alexandria, currently convened at the Basilica of St. Luis The Protector, elected Alasdair Donaldson as the new Archbishop of Geneva, the head of the Church. It has been sometime since this position has been filled, and His Grace looks poised to be an active leader of the Church, and making the Church’s presence more known throughout the Empire. During his address to the College after his election, the Archbishop told the church members, “As we move forward, I look to God for guidance and to you, my family in God to determine our future path. Our past has shown that while we are a nation with a strong faith we lack participation. This lack of participation may be viewed as disinterst, perhaps a sign of a dieing Church. This is not the case. Our Church is strong. We will move forward from here.”
