The clergy upholds the tenants of the church and is expected to get married and have a family. Only those that are married can head up a church or temple. You all wear common clothing with a badge/amulet of your station in the church. While training you make contacts and teach the traditions to as many as will listen. When you have taught your traditions to a number of contacts, you then present your list of contacts to 3 prelates, they then commune with their God to decide if you are worthy.
The Prelates of Scyndar travel to communities and aid in the giving of the gifts of mercy to all that are in need. Prelates are always looking to help those that live away from civilization and to aid how they can. They love families and families love to receive the blessings of a prelate on their hearths and home. They always seek to help refugees if they can.

You cast that spell, called the contingent spell, as part of casting contingency, expending spell slots for both, but the contingent spell doesn't come into effect. Instead, it takes effect when a certain circumstance occurs. The spell level increases to 5th level if the target is a scyndar follower or a family member.
You describe that circumstance when you cast the two spells. For example, a contingency cast with water breathing might stipulate that water breathing comes into effect when you are engulfed in water or a similar liquid.
The contingent spell takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and then contingency ends.
