The Path Pushes for Further Recognition as Faith Spreads Internationally


The Founder of the Path, William Gardener, giving a sermon

The Path to Paradise's Gate, the Charismic Hosian sect lead by the enigmatic William Gardener and his family, now has over 250,000 converts internationally, according it's head of outreach, Steven Gardener.

The success of our Heralds and of course of our Founder at spreading the Word of God, has lead to many joining us in Walking the Path. Prior to the last election here locally for example, nearly all of our membership was within the Duchy of Northriding, which remains of course the home of our faith. But now, there are Gatherings of the Path in all five Duchies of Luthori and of course, let us not forget, with Luthori international travel now no longer restricted, we have managed to spread to our southern neighbours in Hobrazia and to the United States of Baltusia. I'm sure in time we will see further converts in other nations as others hear the Word of the Founder and join us.

The vast majority of the Path's membership is within the Holy Luthori Empire, though Hobrazia is known to have at least 2,000 converts within the past several years, and growing rapidly. Across the sea the United States of Baltusia is known to be home to some thirty thousand converts, including numerous notable politicians at the state and federal level. The success of the Path can be proscribed to William Gardener's raw charisma and fiery rhetoric and the success of the Path's social media blitz, having created a highly sophisticated so online advertising apparatus which has allowed them to spread internationally, albeit quietly without William himself having to have visited.

As apart of the Path's expansion, the Founder has named his brother Jonathan, the Herald of Artania, in charge of spreading the faith throughout Artania, with his primary focus being on Luthori's immediate neighbours, and expanding the membership in Hobrazia, and moving into Narikton & Darnussia, Rutania, Beluzia and even Irkadon while his sister, Rosalie, has been named the Herald of Northern Seleya, with Rosalie focusing her efforts at spreading the faith throughout the northern Seleyan nations, with a specific focus being placed on Likatonia, Lodamun, Valruzia and Kalistan. Rosalie herself now resides within Johnston DD in the United States of Baltusia, having made it the Seleyan Headquarters of the Path.
