The Board of Directors shall determine the wages and benefits of ASCA employees. ...................................................... ARTICLE 9 Addresses of All Saints Church Alliance Members 1. All members who have a change of address shall immediately report that change to the Headquarters. 2. The home address given in the last communication of any member with the ASCA shall be assumed to be the present address of that member. 3. Any communication from ASCA mailed to the last known place of address of any member, shall be considered as having been received by that member. ...................................................... ARTICLE 10 Ministerial Ethics Every member of the All Saints Church Alliance is required to subscribe to and live according to the following code of ethics: A. The minister must keep the nobility of his or her calling uppermost in mind. B. The minister must hold high in outward acts the established reputation of the Christian ministry. C. The minister must not use his or her ministerial position to get unethical financial gain, nor must he or she measure the service of office by their monetary equivalent. D. The minister should dress in a becoming manner. E. The minister should always speak with good will of another minister; and if called to supply the pulpit of a church with doctrinal tenets other than his or her own, upon accepting such call, should carefully avoid making any statement at variance with the tenets of said church. F. It should be the aim of the pastor to make himself or herself a part of the home while making calls, but at the same time to guard his or her own essential character. Ministers should be careful not to indulge in gossip while making calls. G. The minister will be very circumspect in his or her conduct toward the opposite sex. The ideal minister will hold people equal in his heart. There is neither "male nor female, bond nor free, Greek nor barbarian" in the kingdom of which he or she is made a minister. H. The minister should be careful not to bring reproach on his or her calling by joining in marriage improper persons. I. The confidential statements made to a minister by his or her parishioners are privileged and should never be divulged without the consent of those making them. J. As fellow laborers in the Vineyard of the Lord and in the service of the same Savior, the relationship between ministers should be one of frankness and understanding. K. The minister must confine moral conduct to the Biblical standards set forth in the disciplinary procedure and Core Values of the ASCA Constitution. ...................................................... ARTICLE 11 Concerning those who Differ 1. We will not lower the standard of our Core Values as set forth in the Constitution of the ASCA. All uniting with us must subscribe to these fundamentals. However, we recognize that there are differences on those points of doctrine not essential to salvation. We urge our members to be tolerant toward those whose modes of worship and doctrinal views may vary from their own. 2. We practice the principles of the well-known aphorism: "In things essential, unity; in things non-essential, liberty; and in all things, charity. " ...................................................... ARTICLE 12 Ammendments Any proposed amendment to these By-Laws shall be submitted in writing to ASCA for consideration by the Executive Committee, which shall decide whether or not the proposal shall be submitted to the Board of Directors. If the Committee shall so decide, the proposal shall be submitted in writing to each member of the Board of Directors three months in advance of the next Annual Meeting of the Board. The proposal shall be considered at the next annual meeting of the Board of Directors, provided that a two-thirds majority of the Board shall approve such consideration in writing. Such proposal shall require a three-fourths majority of the Board of Directors present for passage. « BACK NEXT » 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 » TOP |
