We believe that Christian Clergy-those who name Jesus Christ to be Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead-have a vital role to play in modern society. As much as they are servants to God’s people, they are also “prophets” who declare the mind and will of God to the nation. We find common confession in the Apostles’ Creed, but we do not sponsor services of Holy Communion nor Holy Baptism because of the significant differences in our understandings on these matters. Neither do we require members to pray together, publicly or privately.
