Piece of Humanity publishes work that can go wrong if it is left to taste, haste, or a machine: images of holy persons, English translations of Church Slavonic and historical Russian, and the ordinary pages of this website.
These pages are the house rules. They are not a synod. They are not a replacement for the Church. They are the method a reader can check.
