How you earn it

Complete the assigned readings and reflections and pass the review.

A church-issued religious-education credential. Non-accredited; not college credit.

The credential you receive

A verifiable Open Badge 3.0 with a unique id (e.g. MELEK-MIN-…) and a SHA-256 verification hash over its fields. Anyone can confirm it on the Verify page; it is built to anchor on the MELEK/PRANA chain for a permanent public record.

Issuance is gated to the issuing authority (the Temple / MELEK Press / MELEK Academy) — you cannot self-mint a credential here. Enroll through the course or ministry track, and the credential is issued to you on completion.
