Description[?]:
| The State Church of Dorvik shall hereby be the "Verbesserung Bekennenden und Reformierte Hosianliche Kirche Dorvik" (Confessional Ameliorate and Reformed Hosian Church of Dorvik) or VBR. Article I: The Church is independent of State control but serves as a symbol of Dorvik stating in its motto: "Dorvik is and shall remain an Confessional Ameliorate and Ordist Nation under the auspice of God." Article II: All Confessional Ameliorate and Ordist churches found throughout the defined borders of Dorvik, or found under the control of ethnic Dorvische outside of the Nation, have the opportunity and ability to enter the organization if it meets the following criteria: - It must be Independent and Confessional Ameliorate or Ordist, denying the authority and spirituality of the Patriarch of any Patriarchal 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 Hosianism. Article III: The Church is intended to act primarily as a symbol of the nation, and a statement of Independent Confessional Ameliorate and Ordist faith. It must not act nor be perceived 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 church hereby possess a certain degree of autonomy to determine their own right and proper doctrine. As such, it allows the differing churches to exist within it, making their own doctrinal decisions regarding issues, which include but are not limited to, the true Nature of Eliyahu, the Spirit of God, Original Sin, Predestination, Marriage, Divorce, and women ministers. Article IV: The Church is hereby run by the "Allgemeine Synod" (General Synod) with an elected head. The Synod, which shall meet annually and be made up of all the elected Teaching Elders or "Geführterprediger" (Guided-preacher) of the individual churches, shall hereby elect the Synod and the head; who shall hereby be appointed formally by the legislature of Dorvik upon the recommendation of the Synod. Article V: The work and purpose of the Synod shall be chosen by the "Bundesversammlung", or subsequent legislature, 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 Church, which is of Ameliorate practice, is completely voluntary and the rights of all the people of Dorvik to worship their own religion, within the confines of national and regional laws, shall not be infringed. |
