 *'''The Pool of Pellucid Placidity''': The End, that which transpires at the End of Days. One's goal in Life is to attain the PPP, under the guidance of the Fundamental Tenets of the Church. The term "Pool", of course, alludes to the collative nature of the end: All are collected together there under the watchful eye of Saint Giles. The "Pellucidity" refers to its translucence - Saint Giles can see through to the depths - and those sinking in them, to lend a watchful hand and bring them to the surface. The "Placidity" naturally refers to the placid nature of the sempiternal cessation of strife and woe, in the Transcendental Glorious Galaxy at the end of time.
-*'''The Blessed Barque''': this is the vessel which is guided by Saint Giles through the sempiternities of time, bringing the deceased to their eternal tranquil rest in the Transcendental Glorious Galaxy. The ''Blessedness'' refers ''both'' to the blessed fact of its manipulation by the Blessed Creator - ''and'' to the blessed nature of the souls, driven personally by the Blessed Creator to the Transcendental Glorious Galaxy.

The CGC have been building immanent barques (or [[Lyre]]s) which are sent out to scour [[The Eight]] bringing the glorious word to those scattered far and wide (although they do have other uses).

 *'''Enjoyment of Amendment'''
-One of the approved forms of this enjoyment is modification and tweaking (called '''The Embrace of the Dark Side''' by some devotees and celebrated by the flinging and then the communal consumption of walnut cookies). Prepackaged untweakable commodities are to be avoided at all cost as they are not enjoyable and thus constitute the Amassment of Excess Wealth (AEW) - or the Amassment of Unmanipulatable Modifications (AUM: terminology used in certain more conservative sections of the Church). The more enthusiastic devotees avoid all shrink-wrapping.
