Concerning Minor Ministries
Issued for the information of visitors, and of anyone who has arrived here by accident.
Mandate
Minor Ministries keeps departments whose concerns are too small, too specific, or too long-standing to be assigned anywhere else.
Nothing here is urgent. Very little of it is even recent. The work is mainly the keeping of records that no one else thought to keep, against the possibility that someone eventually wants them.
Standing rules
- A department is established when a concern has persisted long enough to require a filing system, and not before.
- Each department keeps its own records, stationery and opinions, and is not obliged to agree with any of the others.
- Where two departments hold records of the same thing, both stand. The discrepancy is noted and left alone.
- Staff are not transferred between departments. Vacancies are not filled quickly.
Hours
The departments do not keep hours. Their documents do, and the hours are printed on the documents.
Correspondence
Enquiries concerning any department may be addressed to the desk below. They are read, and answered by hand, in the order they arrive.
The correspondence address is a desk. There is no building attached to it.
