Branch of Enoch
An Assembly of Faith (AOF) of the Advancing Noah Movement
ABOUT THE BRANCH OF ENOCH
The Branch of Enoch is a movement of believers who adhere to the religion of Enoch, 7th from Adam. Our fundamental Scripture is the 'Rainbow Torah' (Genesis 1:1 - 11:9). We are not of the Abrahamic Covenants. Furthermore we follow the teaching shown here as our spiritual theology and way of life. The founder of the Branch of Enoch is Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly. The Branch of Enoch functions as as 'Assembly of 'Faith' (AOF) of the Advancing Noah Movement.

The Last In Line Saga


The Words of Guidance
by Daniel Daly

Paradigm One
Knowledge of Truth
Perhaps it is our very sins which propel us away from clarity - fact - greater understanding of the truth. And as we give into the delusions of self will and embrace the culture of greater and greater liberties of choice of behaviour, often we choose things which are not altogether wise. And then, defensively, we seek to justify those choices, because we seek to be justified. And these choices often define who we are, for they are our own personal platitudes of logic and reason, our own cultures of faith, yet we stray, as we always are wont to do, and revise ourselves, and step further into the great beyond of life beyond the grasp of the wisdom of the Almighty. And why the hell not we say. We aren't hurting anyone, after all. And the further we tread, the more risks we take, the more we deny the voice of God, and deny the faith of our fathers, and listen to the voice of the spirit of error, the voice of the spirit of sin. For sin says to your heart, go on - fucking do it if you want to. Because I will do whatever the fuck I want to do, ok. It's my fucking life, friend.
Yet,
If we grow in facts and truth instead, and yearn for the reality of life, we grow closer to the Almighty, and understand his divine knowledge and wisdom, and understand that the liberties we desired often lead to the wont of greater liberties, and that, really, the graces God granted us should have been sufficient in the first place. For those liberties lead to the rights we want, and the rights we want lead to the ability to make unwise choices very so often. And in those unwise choices, sometimes, sometimes, we fuck up. And if we want more and more liberties, logic dictates we can fuck up even more and more so. So while you may worship your glorious statues of liberty, remember - where the hell is that liberty leading you at the end of your walk of life?
Keep the faith. Remember the covenant. Don't deny the facts of God. Then you will find eternity, and good health, and wise life choices, and rest from the turmoil of depression a mind finds when it more and more rejects the Torah of God's eternal truths.

Paradigm Two
Initiative
I was watching on Sunrise on channel 7 just then about a small business which has started recently which does the simplest thing of going down to were people store their wheelie bins for garbage and recycling, and wheeling them up to the kerb for the garbage truck to unload them. The garbage trucks use mechanical arms to reach down and lift up the bins to empty them into the waste skip in the truck, but actually getting the bins up to the kerb people have to normally do themselves. This is were these lads have created a business by charging a small fee – currently a dollar per bin – to take the bin up to the kerb. And there is a growing demand for this service. Some people are just too busy to do it themselves, and some people are too old and some just have the money to afford it. But what it shows to me is that time honoured foundation of all successful businesses – initiative. If you have a great idea, and you are willing to do the work in the idea, don't just sit on it – do it. Get your act together, work out how it all works and the complications and costs of it all, and actually go out and get the job done. It is not so much working out a great idea all the time, it is often about just having the initiative and applying yourself to get that idea up and running. It's a competitive world, and there are a lot of competitors on well established ideas and occupations. But if you have something original, which can work really well, these days people often have a bit of spare money they are actually prepared to pay for a service or a good which they might find handy or useful. Initiative – if you've got some, apply. Study out the idea properly, chat with people about it because, as the proverb says, wisdom lies in a multitude of counsellors, often make a business plan, and go off and get the job done. The smallest and even simplest of services can often build into a business empire of grand proportions. And, if you don't have any real great ideas, but a lot of initiative, pray to God to give you some good ideas you can apply and make something of your life and future that way. The key, really, in the end, is getting off your butt and just finding the initiative to get the job done. Often the early bird catches the worm, so if you have a great idea apply it quickly before someone else steals your dream. And the point? This is life. If you are going to live it in the end, and you don't have something already else planned, find some initiative within, follow your dream, and make something of the next chapter of your eternal destiny.


Paradigm Three
Complicated Things
A
A and B
A and B and C
And so on until 26 letters of the English Alphabet. And these letters form words, and a multiplicity of words go into our standard dictionaries, which spell the world and give the meaning or definition of those words. These words convey a concept of some sorts. The gather of words into sentences and then into meaningful paragraphs convey greater concepts or ideas. A small, on paragraph sermon or treatise teaches ideas related, usually, to a central concept which has been developed somewhat with sentences and small groups of sentences to convey the ideas and explain out in more detail to get a fuller or a bigger picture and understanding. Sometimes you use examples from real life and analogies to further embellish or explain these ideas. Now, if you string together many paragraphs, shortly you could have a chapter, and many chapters can make a book. And a well written reference book on a subject of one, or a subject of many inter-related and inter-connected ideas can make a great read and is an excellent way to gain a greater of more in depth understanding on that issue. The thing is, as the information grows, often it becomes more challenging to understand. The key to understanding this, though, is ongoing study, and rereading of the material many times if necessary, to more fully appreciate and know what the author is driving at. And if it is more in depth and more ideas are presented, and these ideas are challenging to understand properly, things are getting more complicated very often. But there is a heart of understanding complex things, and that is understanding the core bits and pieces of knowledge which fit together to form the bigger picture. When you understand basic concepts well, you have a better ability to grasp the meanings of things which are formed from a greater amalgamation of these concepts. What I am driving at is this – things and books and ideas which are challenging and difficult and complicated to understand CAN be learned by learning the foundational ideas well, researching them properly, and learning how it all fits together one step at a time. Many people can understand things which seem really complicated that they might think only an expert could understand if they are prepared to be patient and study out the rudimentals of it all slowly and carefully, which helps their mind to fit together these bits and pieces in more and more complex arrangements. In essence, study the basics of a concept or idea, and learn those basics well and, in time, you will naturally progress to intermediate knowledge and, through careful study and perseverance, anybody can achieve expertise on a subject in time also, if they would only persevere from basic foundations. It is within your ability, my child – it is within your abilities.

Paradigm Four
Colours of Stars.
There are white stars, blue stars and yellow stars in the sky. A variety of colours. The doppler effect teaches that distance also affects how we see the colour of the star. This is based on the heat energy available from the viewpoint of the one observing the star. The further the star is away, the less energy is still available for the outburst of rays from that star to reach earth. The size of the star also affects this, as nearer stars can still be red if they are smaller, and stars further away can be blue if they are bigger. Starlight is energy from fire, as its ultimate source. The energy emitted from a star ultimately ends, as it can only travel so far into space before it reaches its ending point of energy outburst. The stars twinkle in the sky because the core star varies constantly in the way it is radiating its energy outwards. The current scientific opinion of the majority is that these stars are billions of light years away. This is flawed thinking. They are not as big as many people think, and the energy does not travel that far into space. Stars are actually quite near the earth. When God created the stars, it didn't take millions of light years for the energy of the stars to reach the earth, which is the evolutionary schema, attempting to deny the validity of scripture - the stars are actually quite near, and the energy would have reached the earth quite quickly. The earth is about 6178 years old since its creation, and stars have been visible for nearly all that time.
Further, the earth is in the centre of the universe, and the stars have been placed around the earth to 'Rule the Night'.
The measurements used by earlier scientists to measure the distance of the stars from the earth were quite flawed, and they still get it wrong today.
“Without a monetary system based on 'Work Effort' to determine allocation of resources, a 'Shared' system faces the facts that people DON'T SHARE and INSIST ON PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. The communal system of ownership you express is admirable, but unrealistic and will NEVER happen because it does not address core factors of human nature which the current 'Work for your money' system does. OPPORTUNITIES have always been presented to those of lower social standings over their life time. They are, especially in the western world, given very good access to education, which is the PRIMARY OPPORTUNITY OF THEIR LIFE TO DEVELOP THEMSELVES AND SEEK FORTUNE IN LIFE. The lower social classes often remain as such primarily because poor parental attitudes are often carried from one generation to the next. The child which has had enough WILL SUCCEED. The system is NOT flawed. God doesn't want a utopia on earth. God likes the struggle so that he can see a person's passion and pride to make something of their life. The system works fine.” (From facebook discussion with S Richard Lamoreux)




The 70 Divine Principles of Peace of the Branch of Enoch
1
Let Peace be found in the Centre of your Soul and Let it radiate calmly and flow in natural harmony

2
Let Peace be found in the Centre of your Heart and let it beat eternally and project in natural chemistry

3
Let Peace be found in the Centre of your Spirit and let it think mercifully and judge in natural sanity

4
Make Peace the blueprint of your life, the plan of your adventure, the object of your mission and the star of your story

5
The Dove is the Symbol of Peace we utilize. Let its grace and nobility inspire you to be a beautiful, gentle and humble servant of Yahweh

6
Work can not go on without measure, for if you must work six days in a row, let it be the maximum, and on the seventh day you shall find your peaceful rest

7
Noah's Dove returned to the Ark each time for its salvation, but eventually the dove found its own way in the world when the world was reborn. The Way of the Eternal Dove is born within the Assembly of the Divine Creator, and while they will always be their home, Eternal Dove's are ultimate free to fly away and begin their own Kingdom.

8
Make Peace your salvation, and turn from strife, and you will have a happy life

9
Let the peace of God fill you to the brim and let it flow from you to guide others away from tension, chaos and harm

10
Do not Kill. Peaceful people do not like violence or tension or the way of misrule.

11
Carnality is not in bed with peace.

12
Gentle music, gentle love, gentle peace, gentle dove

13
Worshipping Statues of Doves is idolatry. But statues of doves as symbols of nobility can be inspiring.

14
A peaceful soul is usually a lawful soul

15
Doves are sacrificial creatures. Let your peace be a sacrifice to the worlds anxieties.

16
Support the pastoral chooks who run the fellowship. Not necessarily tithing, but every man and woman must pay their dues and their fair share.

17
A Child stays with its parents until it is ready to spread its wings, fly away, and make a home of its home. But sometimes a child may be to fearful to leave the nest and even when it does, it makes its home just on the next peak. Often, though, the wisest dove stays with its parents, builds on their foundation, and never leaves the old faithful home, which it perpetuates in its seed as its eternal legacy. PRAY, once you own your home and have progeny, for them to own your home through their seed eternally.

18
Let your name be known as a name of peace, and let this be the hallmark of virtue you are best remembered for.

19
Peaceful people are inevitably polite people and with such good manners, and through the wise grooming of the parents or spouse, a sensible dovechild can go into the world and make a name for itself and build an economic foundation stone upon which its family can rely.

20
The wisest dove is the wisest dove because it has never stopped studying and learned from many sources of lore and wisdom and truth. Study hard in your schooling years, and later you can fly to the stars.

21
A peaceful family is a joy to the heart, and a salvation rock in your life you can praise Yahweh for forever and ever.

22
God is the father of all mankind, and the way of the Eternal Dove is dedicated to God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and all that therein is.

23
The Rainbow Torah Scriptures are the Bedrock of Scripture which the Way of the Eternal Dove can fall back upon. In a very real sense, this is what the Assembly of the Divine Creator, the General Assembly, represents to us.

24
Godianity is one of the other Denominations in the Assembly of the Divine Creator. It preceded us, and is an older denominational brother.

25
Choose the ways of Peace and you choose the ways of salvation. Make it your home, and stay at home nearly all the time, going out only to conduct whatever affairs you must, but taking all the peace with you that you can keep in the strength of your character.

26
Shaking hands has always been a sign of peace, and this is a good thing. But wearing gloves is also a very sensible way of preventing the spreading of germs and diseases.

27
Shower or bathe every day, and when you have gotten dirty, extra cleaning is often required.

28
Don't be stubborn and proud – listen to your mother or father's advice on your life when you know in your heart they are teaching you the right thing to do and the right ways to behave, even if you think they may be somewhat fussy.

29
Don't Kidnap people, because it really builds up hatred and strife from those families affected by the situation and if you are doing it, what kind of peace is really in your heart anyway? Learn the ways of peace, not the ways of lawlessness, and the income you desire from life will then start to manifest. Don't kid yourself though – God doesn't bless the unrepentant sinner.

30
The reward for a filthy lucre life, never repented of till death, is an eternity which doesn't have a happy ending. So remember, Crime does not pay.

31
2 male doves don't procreate a baby dove. 2 female doves don't procreate a baby dove. 1 male and 1 female dove DO procreate a baby dove.

32
Surrender to peace, and you always knew when you were doing it you were making the right decision. Backing down takes a stronger spirit, that can stomach humility and its pride being assaulted, in the end, only by one whose pride has turned them bestial.

33
In your work, always be known for your calmness and peaceful ways, and people will always like working with you and like enjoying your presence.

34
Think about it – if its traditionally called a sin, then it may end up causing peace to be ripped apart. In the Way of the Eternal Dove, our adherents chose this faith because they really wanted to find peace of Soul, Heart and Spirit. Sinning, when your conscience says to you 'Should I really be doing this,' or 'Should I really be hanging around here', is never going to be the right thing to do. Avoiding sin is what builds your peace.

35
A peaceful soul may not necessarily be the greatest of passionate lovers or the greatest of charitable souls, or the greatest and most generous person there is. These things will usually find a home with peace, but when its really peace of self you need, don't think you have to fork over a tithe to necessarily gain it. Concentrate on the ways of peace, and you will get your reward.

36
New Age Relaxation Music is probably quite ideal for our fellowship. Most of that sort of stuff, from panpipes, to celtic music, to new age keyboard sounds, to even pagan things, can probably be appropriate kinds of music for us to listen to. So, also, music from Indigenous and Native and Pagan and Eastern spiritualities as well as folk music and gentle forms of music, as well as classical, are all probably ok for us. Gospel music is really mainly for the church, and Jewish Music is mainly for the Jewish people, and is their private spiritual salvations. We are able to utilize some of these things, but need to keep it limited and very respectful if we do.

37
A woman of peace uses her own money to obtain wealth in life, so that tension and strife from police and other law officers do not interrupt her life and send her to jail for theft. Constant pinching only breeds guilt, and you never really find peace of heart in doing it.

38
A peaceful saturday afternoon, where board games are played by happy and calm children and grandparents snooze soundly in their armchairs............

39
A lazy sunday afternoon, where queen albums have been playing all afternoon, and your watching the rugby or tennis, getting a little fatter, and enjoying your peace of mind...........

40
The Way of the Eternal Dove is just that – Eternal. Enshrine its wisdom into your heart, soul and spirit and let it be the Halakah you live by all the days of your eternity.

41
The Angels of Hope Literature is the Primary Pseudepigraphal Haggadah for the Way of the Eternal Dove.

42
Followers of the Way of the Eternal Dove can develop this denomination even further with their own writings on spirituality based within its teachings, and it is entirely appropriate for members to develop 'Angels of Hope' fanfiction.

43
Membership in the Way of the Eternal Dove is through an Affirmation of Faith to the Pastoral Council first and then the Assembly you are joining, which was preceded by a year of study and learning.

44
When making important decisions think, will this result in ways of peace. If it won't, question whether it is the right decision to make.

45
Be Peace in the Hearts of Men

46
Public Servants of all kinds are ideal jobs which we can sow seeds of peace in. International and National Fast food, Supermarkets and other public companies, and mainstream private companies, are also the ideal kinds of jobs where we can sow seeds of peace and make this a better world. If you want to be a Superstar, this can be a lot of tension and strife, and not always the option of a peace-lovers heart, but it can be if you choose the route of peace in such a choice. But the road is difficult, and must be chosen as young as possible, giving God plenty of advance notice, and being completely prepared and committed to doing the kinds of things he will require of you to justify such glories.

47
A warrior of peace will defend his nation if it is required to keep the peace. But we do not proactively go to war, usually, otherwise. Empire building dictatorships need to be a thing of the past for those who choose the ways of peace, but rising up against those attempting such things is an acceptable 'Way of the Peaceful Warrior'.

48
You won't find peace in your heart by insulting God on an ongoing basis. Repent, and leave God alone, as you shouldn't backbite against the greatest source of peace in existence.

49
Neither will you find peace in your heart in desiring everything of your fellow neighbours who has prospered, for it can lead to theft and stealing and jealousy and envy, and there is little peace in such things.

50
Imagine a neighbour of beauty and peace, who makes you feel wonderful a lot. What a horrible thing it would be to lie about such a neighbour and spread rumours about him or her, even in a court of law. Lies are never good, and only little white ones to Aunt Lily, from who you pinched a chocolate, can ever be acceptable. Peace will stay in your heart if you keep these things in mind and practice them.

51
Vampire movies are cool, but the Cullens are undead because of their addiction to blood. Blood is the life of a creature, as scripture decrees. And while we may eat its meat, the blood should be drained back into mother nature from whence it came. A gory, bloody appetite, never brings peace of heart.

52
A peaceful world will flourish when the environment is green and healthy and mother nautre is taken care of and looked after. A dirty river never brings peace to those who need its life giving water, and an eroded field never brings joy to its owner who can not farm it for food. A healthy, green and taken care of planet will bring peace of heart to everyone.

53
Be careful who you sleep with, because incestuous acts can often bring anxiety and tension later on in life, and peace can be hard to find.

54
A conscience which is free from guilt is a conscience which has found peace.

55
Dressed in white, like a dove, a maiden on her wedding day, when the colour traditionally symbolizes virginity..............

56
Doves are living creatures, and they live and do things with their lives. Do things with your life and don't necessarily hang around the nest all day long. Have some fun, and make sure you do the work required to take care of things financially.

57
When your unwell, visit a doctor. When your in a legal strait, visit a lawyer. When you need food, go to the supermarket. When you need a new suit, go to a tailor. When you need charity, seek the pastor. When you need work, make sure you have an education. When you need love, sometimes a dating agency is quite acceptable. And when you need peace, turn away from darkness, tension and strife, read the 70 Divine Principles, put on some relaxing music, have a long glass of peach ice tea ready to drink, and relax in your quiet place, in a special seat perhaps, and let the tensions ebb away, thinking calm thoughts of family and nature and loved things and God.

58
Yahweh El Shaddai is God Almighty, the Eternal Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh

59
God made it all on 6 days, and rested on the 7th

60
Noah survived the flood with his family on the ark, and the ark had housed the Dove, so Noah cares for Doves too.

61
It is a true saying that love can cover a multitude of sins and through such loving behaviour, peace of mind can often be found.

62
A sound marriage can really be the fidelity of peace your life has needed for a while.

63
Children are born rebellious it would seem, so carefully teach them the ways of peace and discipline them with mercy and love to bring forth this joy into their life and your families.

64
In 7DF tradition, not necessarily acquiring lots of things, but suitable things for your life which carry over into eternity is usually the best advice. Be prepared to potentially suffer, though, if you really desire a lot of things, which means peace will sometimes elude you. Mark these words, and keep them in mind, but study peace more and more and more, and your good works on peace will often alleviate such sufferings.

65
When thinking over moral issues, ask if such things will develop a peaceful world.

66
Let peace find its home in your family for all your days of eternity and let it witness to all who come into contact with you so they can be inspired and find the things they also need for their comfort and salvation. Let your peaceful lifestyle be a witness to others so it can speak to the hearts of men.

67
Let peace flow like a gentle stream, sparkling softly in the sunlight, in a beautiful valley, full of pines and graceful willows, flowing on forever as a stream of glory through the heart of the Assemblies of the Way of Eternal Peace.

68
A peaceful home, wherever it may be, will grant you peace of mind, eternally.

69
Pray for peace, for God delights in such prayer.

70
Let peace be the end of your arguments, and let peace be the beginning of your each and every day.



Discussion Material for the Branch of Enoch
“Yes. I generally agree with what you are saying. I noted your point that human nature is not locked into one way of acting or behaving. In human development theory, one of the key ideas is Nature Versus
Nurture - a human is influenced by his nature, yet the way he or she is nurtured affects the total outcome as well. Because of this, and in a natural argument perhaps, some people are more attuned to,
say, a US democratic party agenda, and some are more attuned to a US republican party agenda. But then we have strong 'GREEN BASED' environmentalist politicians, and the communistic ideals as
well. Each major political initiative has usually as its core idea Prosperity. Prosperity, often for the individual and often for the larger society. Conservatism - the Right Wing - is usually the individually based
focus, focusing on entrepreneurialship. Socialistic idealism - the Left Wing - thinks more about society as a whole and especially the disaffected within society. As you said, people are different, and
there are a variety of human natures - 7 Billion - at work on planet earth to influence and control the overall agenda. A nation perhaps also has a psychology, and some nations are more prosperous and
some less so. YET, God devised the natural order to BLESS mankind but also to CHALLENGE mankind. The challenge for the disaffected is to RISE TO THE CHALLENGE. Sure, we really do need a
helping hand, and stronger nations need to help weaker ones - a primary work of the United Nations. Yet life is often sink or swim. That is the truth of the natural order of things. Natural selection in a
sense. Your heart is very compassionate which is excellent, but when it comes to the last bottle of water on the lifeboat adrift at sea, I suggest you drink it, S Richard, and let Joe Blow go 'Oh Well'. Ha.”
“Life is what YOU make it. Not what Big Brother says in taking care of you.”
"Hurting, harming, causing pain and despair and suffering - intentionally - to another human being is WRONG. It is a SIN. Our freedoms and liberties are limited eternally by the freedoms and liberties of others to live free from harm and oppression. We DO NOT LIVE IN A STATE OF INDIVIDUALITY but IN A STATE OF COMMUNITY. For this reason, Conservatism/Right wing theology, is FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED ON ITS CONCEPTION OF THE WORLD. We exist NEEDING others, and for others to NEED US. Liberty is thus morally limited and affected by the rights and privileges of others. THERE ARE OTHERS IN THE WORLD BESIDES THINE OWN ARSE, KEMOSABE."
"Conversely, Marxism will NEVER work. People are attuned to individuality. It is flawed to pursue this theology of life in isolation from commmunity, but people justify the idea based on 'Providing for their family' (when it is really them who mostly want lifes glories). This is the system which will prevail in the end. Marxism is corrupt is many ways, because it ONLY EMPHASISES the rights of the community, to the negligence of the rights of the individual. A party like the democrat party in the US or the Labour party in Australia has the right balance of Socialist-Capitalist policy. Socialism shrinks down to nothing without capitalism - Capitalism ends in 'Babels of Pride' without socialism. When provoking each other in a political system, were both are attempted, a unique balance creates a situation which actually works. The CURRENT (and I only mean current) democrat party of the US is really the correct centrist position for a system to function smoothly. The same for the labour party in the UK and Australia."

Psalms of the Branch of Enoch
Psalm 1
Life is complicated, Almighty God
I don't understand
You are a Lord of mysteries
And I don't understand
Learning is challenging
And I don't understand
So if I lack, then strengthen me, and give me the ability
To understand
To understand your ways
To understand your divine principles
To understand your creation
To understand the wisdom of mankind
And if I lack, then strengthen me, and give me the ability
To learn from you
And to be sensitive to your mysterious cleverness
In which you teach me the answer some times
Before I even ask the question
Because you already know
You clever old soul
Amen
Alleluia
Amen

Psalm 2
Help me to walk with you God
Like Enoch walked with you
Help me to call on your name
And help me to search my own heart and root out the darkness
And to search my own heart and root out any spiritual pride
Which says I know better than you
Because if and when I am actually humble
I sort of do know and acknowledge and get the point
That you are pretty wise, and experienced and knowledgeable
And the infinite mind of the Creator, Yahweh
Is good enough for my eternal Mentor
Ad is good enough for my eternal Teacher
And is good enough for being my eternal Sensei
Of wisdom, lore, knowledge and Truth
In the Branch of Enoch
Of God's own people
In the Walk of Eternal life
And understanding
AMEN

Psalm 3
Praise to the Creator of the Universe
Who knows its complications, as he created it all
So in the knowledge of God
I have a foundation
That I can trust eternally
And know that when I praise you, Holy God
I am acknowledging the truth
Of who you are, your glory and holiness
And wisdom eternal and Supreme
Alleluia
Amen

Psalm 4
The Praise of 100 Alleluias
Does not equal the cry of a repentant heart
For in the sorrow of newfound humility
Lies the contentment of a soul's peace
Happy in sadness, glad in misery
Thankful for that touch of God's grace
In the innermost heart
Which cries 'All is now well'
All is now well
AMEN

Psalm 5
Do unto others acts of kindness
Not to profit spiritually
Or to build your catalogue of good works
But because it is the right thing to do
In the eyes of God our saviour
Praise be to God
Judge of our innermost thoughts
Praise be to God
Discerner of our innermost feelings
AMEN

ANM Adventure Camps - For Youth and Young at Heart - Administered by the Branch of Enoch
The Advancing Noah Movement Adventure Camps are traditional getaway camps, like summer camps, run for the Advancing Noah Movement. Wherever we have rights with God to holiday on such camps, we will endeavour to do so. Activities for the camps include: Team Houses of Shem, Ham and Japheth. Shem is in Black, Ham is in Pink, and Japheth is in Blue. The Team with the most points at the end of the camp is the winner, and awarded the camp cup. Points are awarded for: good behaviour, tidiness, good suggestions, good behaviour and sporting and academic excellence, as well as good team behaviour. Event supervisors award the points as they see fit, but can not have any favoritism. The sporting events of the Advancing Noah Movement are played (see the UFA Rainbow Bible) and quiz nights are also undertaken. Drama plays borrowed from the Chronicles of the Children of Destiny can be done, and a sermon should probably be delivered opening night and leaving night. Swimming can take place, and it is expected that people wear their swimmers. Board shorts are the recommendation for males, but they can wear the shorter ones if they wish, and full body swimmer are recommended for females, but we will allow bikinis as an exception. The women and men should be reminded that they need to be responsible about their sexual activity. We are not prudish, but we are responsible. A sex ed sermon the first night, pointing out how venereal diseases are caught, is highly recommended for the camp. If we can obtain rowing craft and archery equipment that would be wonderful, God-willing, but only SAFE archery equipment of a plastic nature. Appropriate goggles need to be worn on the Archery range to protect the eyes. This is a mandatory requirement. Camps should be fun, lively, with rosters for chores, and a good and happy getaway for the youth especially, but also for the oldies who are young at heart. Permission slips need to be signed by parents of under-age children, and, when possible, see the parents physically in person or at least ring them up to ensure no fake signatures have occurred. Parents accompanying younger children on camps is always a good idea, but best just one parent at a time. Campers should be encouraged to keep their Camp House at every future camp, and Event Co-ordinators should do their best to remember what House each camper is in to build up proper house traditions over the years. The chief camp hall for each house needs to be decorated differently to the other houses, and should we be able to afford our own permanent camps, the focus on the House should be of its own stylings and personality. It is of vital importance that no 'Old Boys' traditions arise in the camp houses, and while rivalry is a good thing between the houses, it must be done in a spirit of fair play and decent kindness and love for your competitors. Doing artwork is also a part of the camp, and craft as well. Campers should have a degree of choice in what activities they wish to do, and no camper should be forced into anything they don't wish to do. Pressure to overcome fears should be avoided in the ministry of Event Co-ordinators, but gentle encouragement to be brave is acceptable - just no pressure tactics. Group activities involving singing and holding hands is encouraged, but don't force campers to hold hands if they don't wish to. The camp should always be left very neat in the way it was found, and campers should not take anything from the camp grounds, except items from nature which trees and bushes and shrubs naturally produce, if they have an interest in an item. It is advised to check with your events co-ordinator on such things, but if it is obviously ok then it is obviously ok. Camp fires are ok, and a bonfire night near the end of the camp is a good idea. Roasting marshmellows should be provided, but lots of caution is advised when campers roast their marshmellows. Events Co-ordinators must be well trained in Health and Safety principles, and have their eyes on the lookout for the safety of campers at all times.
