"The role of the dominant is more comparable to that of a priest in Christian tradition. That is to say a human among humans who guides the congregation, himself included, into a deeper submission to and reverence for that which is holy. The priest is a vessel of sanctity, the link between congregation and the divine; he himself possesses neither more nor less divinity than any other."
~ J. Mikael Togneri in Spirituality In Slavehood
