PREACHING ON THE PULPIT:
It is the Father’s instruction that sisters can mount the Pulpit since they too are priests called according to God’s purpose and will. There is neither man nor woman but the Holy Spirit. By baptism in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, a sister (woman) has the right to conduct service. Hence, all brethren, even children, can conduct but before mounting the pulpit one has to obtain permission from the C.N.T.M/Christ Witness in-charge of the stations (Bethels).
This holy book is a compilation of the Holy Father’s teachings. It does not take the place of the Holy Bible since one compliment the other. The Holy Father has authorised the reading of the Holy Book (OROKUTUEYOEYO) during service but that, the conductor should not add his words or try to explain the Holy Father’s Sermon. The conductor is at liberty to preach directly from the Bible or read the Holy Father’s Sermon fully and without interruption.
DISSOLUTION/ELECTION
All elected officers at all level in the fold has a term of one year in office after which the executive is dissolve and new officers elected at a general meeting for another period of one year. The returning officer who must preside over all elections in the fold must be a worker except where none is present at such a meeting then any other person can preside.
Note: Chorister’s Fellowship as well as other fellowships must adhere strictly to this directive.
