I. Official Establishment and Dedication

The Stanley Garland Ministry, under the authority of The Rt. Rev. Dr. Stanley (F.) Garland, D.Div. (Hon.), Ecclesiastical Authority, hereby establishes the Stanley Garland Ministry Library of Philosophy (the Library).

This Library is a perpetual, non-profit academic division of the Ministry, dedicated to the formal study, publication, and certification of philosophical works that align with the Ministry’s Statement of Ecclesiastical Covenant and Doctrinal Mandates.

All works published under the Library’s authority are dedicated to The Garland Family, beginning with Stanley Garland as the founder of the modern family crest. This dedication is a perpetual acknowledgment of the family’s ethical and philosophical legacy: Veritas Supra Ambitum (Truth Above Ambition).

II. Library Mission and Mandates

The mission of the Library is to provide a comprehensive, critical, and rigorous body of work serving the Ministry’s core purpose: the ethical and professional needs of the modern media and creative sectors. The Library’s output shall be governed by the following Ministry Doctrinal Mandates:

• The Mandate of Cognitive Inquiry : To ensure that all philosophical works apply diligent psychological assessment and cognitive due diligence, achieving enhanced ethical foresight in evaluating human intentions and societal dynamics.
• The Mandate of Comedic Science : To provide an avenue for critical analysis, witty scrutiny, and social commentary, recognizing the power of Comedic Science to expose hypocrisy and illuminate truth.
• The Mandate of Abiding and Ethical Non-Aggression : To mandate that all scholarly pursuits strive for professional “Abiding” and ethical patience, minimizing harm in all creative and commercial undertakings.

III. The Inaugural Publication

The Library’s first publication shall be a philosophical work that establishes the serious, intellectual rigor of the Ministry’s mission, even while works fulfilling the Mandate of Comedic Science are planned.

IV. Oversight and Certification

The Library and all its publications are placed under the direct supervision of the Director of Certification.

All works released by the Library must satisfy the Ecclesiastical Standard for Media and Ethical Rigor (ESMER)

Upon approval, each work will receive the final endorsement and authentication via the Official Ministry Seal by the Director of Certification.
