Parousianism
Parousianism is a sect of Pietist Soterianity with origins prior to the Twilight War. It is known for its deviating stances on soteriology and when the Sabbath is held relative to other Soterian denominations, with the official position of Parousian congregations being that souls shall be annihilated on the Day of Judgement and that the sabbath should be observed on Saturdays. Parousianism places specific emphasis on the Second Coming of Soter.
Originally founded in Watchoo in North Esmaria, the Parousian faith has seen evangelization well beyond the borders of the Emerald Alliance and is a large distinct denomination of Pietism in terms of claimed membership. It places importance on continuing Phanuelite dietary laws and promoting humanitarianism. The faith has seen criticism by governments for the maintaining conscientious objection in adherents serving within the military in addition to proliferating conspiracy theories.
