Thank you, that was a point I was going to make. Saints (and Founders) generally reveal or discover some new truth about the Invisible God or the world that may or may not be compatible with their existing Church. Rokar promulgated the Sharp Abiding Book - an expurgated and "purer" version of the Abiding Book. Saint Caselain was the vehicle through which Ashara revealed itself to the world. And so on.
