| The State church of Mordusia shall hereby be the "Bishopal Church of Mordusia" BCM. Article I: The Church is independent of State control but serves as a symbol of Mordusia stating in its motto: "Mordusia is and shall remain a Hosian and Bishopal nation under the auspice of God." Article II: All Bishopal churches found throughout the defined borders of Mordusia have the opportunity and ability to enter the organization if it meets the following criteria: - It must be Bishopal, recognizing the authority and spirituality of the God, Eliyahu, the duly elected Presiding Bishop, and the 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 as the religious and cultural symbol of the nation, and a statement of Mordusian Bishopal 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 "House of Bishops" with an elected head. The House of Bishops, which shall meet annually and be made up of all the elected bishops of the individual churches and dioceses, shall hereby elect the House of Bishops and the head; who shall hereby be appointed formally by the legislature of Mordusia upon the recommendation of the House of Bishops. Article V: The work and purpose of the House of Bishops shall be chosen by Parliament, 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 Bishopal practice, is mandatory and the rights of all the people of Mordusia to worship their own religion, within the confines of national and regional laws, are hereby revoked. |
