Description[?]:
| The State Church of Dundorf shall hereby be the Zweite Protestierende Ökumenische Kirche Dundorf (Second Protestant Ecumenical Church of Dundorf). Article I: The Church is independent of State control but serves as a symbol of Dundorf stating in its motto: "Dundorf is and shall remain a Protestant Nation under the auspice of God." Article II: All Protestant churches found throughout the defined borders of Dundorf, or found under the control of ethnic Dundorfians (Volksdundorfe) outside of the Nation, have the opportunity and ability to enter the organization if it meets the following criteria: - It must be Protestant, denying the authority and spirituality of the Pope of the Catholic Churches, papalism, and the idolatry of Saints. - It must revere the Testaments of the Holy Scripture, witness them as the sole word of God, and view their words as the ultimate authority of Christianity. Article III: The Church is intended to act primarily as a symbol of the nation, and a statement of Protestant faith. It must not act nor be percieved as a restrictive body determining a rigid and proper religious doctrine; only the Word of God found within the Testaments of the Holy Scriptures can create such a doctrine. Therefore, each individual Protestant denomination found within the Church hereby possess a certain degree of autonomy to determine their own right and proper doctrine. As such, it allows the differing sects to exist within it, making their own doctrinal decisions regarding issues, which include but are not limited to, the true Nature of Christ, the Holy Trinity, Original Sin, Predestination, Marriage, Divorce, and women ministers. Article IV: The Church is hereby run by the Ökumenischer Rat (Ecumenical Council) with the Regelnpastor (Governing Pastor) at its head. The Allgemeiner Religiöser Kongress (General Religious Congress), which shall meet annually and be made up of all the local ministers of the Church, shall hereby elect the Council and the Governing Pastor; who shall hereby be appointed formally by the legislature of Dundorf upon the recommendation of the Congress. Article V: The work and purpose of the Governing Pastor and the Council shall be chosen by the Congress when in session, as it may vary depending on the climate and situations of the country at large. Article VI: Membership and participation of the individual in the Zweite Protestantische Kirche, which is a combination of the Calvinist and Lutheran Churches, is completely voluntary and the rights of all the people of Dundorf (Reichsdundorfe) to worship their own religion, within the confines of national and regional laws, shall not be infringed. |

Those who go against the Revolution, go against human progress and must be freed in the most humane way possible. That is why we introduced the guillotine." - Maximus Robertson, former Davostani revolutionary |
