ADF Dedicant Program -- Virtue
I am entirely finished with the first requirement for the DP, which is "Written discussion of the Dedicant's understanding of each of the following nine virtues: wisdom, piety, vision, courage, integrity, perseverance, hospitality, moderation, and fertility. The Dedicant may include other virtues, if desired, and compare them to these nine."
My caveat is that the DP's Preceptor won't be approving any of my work until the whole program is done; that's the system. Therefore, this is entirely unevaluated work, and the possiblity exists that when my DP work does come up for review, there will be something wrong with it -- in other words, please don't take this or any other DP work I post here as an example of what ADF is looking for in completed DP requirements, because I have no real way yet of knowing that it is. I just like the idea of letting people kind of follow through my DP experience as I go along.
I did all nine virtues, and then, as is my way, I sliced it all up and put it all back together again in a system of seven virtues that made more sense to me. I'm offering it as an alternative way of perceiving the subject, because I think that content-wise it doesn't differ much; all the "official" virtues are subsumed under one or more headings.
