Mauris lobortis quam id dictum

## The Church & The Society.

we love to share our faith.

#### The Church and Other Churches

"The Church believing it to be the will of Christ that His disciples should be all one in the Father and in Him, that the world may believe that the Father has sent Him, recognizes the obligation to seek and promote unity with other Churches in which it finds the Word to be accurately preached, the Sacraments administered according to Christ's ordinance, and discipline properly exercised. It has the right to unite with any such Church without loss of its identity on terms, which it finds to be consistent with these Articles and always in agreement with the word of God.
We believe that our Lord means us to be one; that we must promote unity and co-operation between all Christians with the same compassionate love that was shown in Jesus. This does not mean that we must all be exactly the same (the body has many organs); it does mean that we must all love one another."

#### The Courts of The Church

"The rule of the Church shall be exercised through its courts: Sessions, Presbyteries, Synods and General Assemblies. Each congregation has a Session (lowest and private Court of the Church). The Presbytery is the Court of the Church which has general oversight of all Congregations within its bounds.
The Synod is the highest court of the Church. Its decisions are final and binding and are not subject to review by any other court or body except for the right of appeal to the General Assembly. The Synod has jurisdiction over all Presbyteries and through Presbyteries to Congregations.
The trustees of the Synod are the Moderator, Vice Moderator, the General Secretary, the Deputy GS and the Treasurer as appointed by the Synod, and two Church Elders. "
