This press message was released by the Government of the Darnussian Democratic Republic.
As a result of the passage of the Religion Reform Act of April 2447, enacting an official State religion, the Church of Darnussia has been made the nation's official religion and established Church.
The Church professes Christianity, especially the Catholic branch of Christianism in both its Terran and Orthodox beliefs (the nation's two major Christian groups). Yet, the Church is autonomous from both the Terran and Orthodox pontiffs having its own organisation, liturgy and laws.
The Archbishop of Kozaria is its spiritual leader and senior clergyman and seats in the Doressa Cathedral. William Stafford was appointed by the General Synod of the Church of Darnussia the first Archbishop of Kozaria and was formally enthroned at Doressa Cathedral.
The Church of Darnussia is committed to proclaim the Christian gospel in words and actions, provide services of Christian worship and praise and its network of parishes cover the country, bringing a vital Christian dimension to the nation as well as strengthening community life. Signed,
the Government of the Darnussian Democratic Republic
