A SHARED INHERITANCE
Authority to serve.
Mysteries for every Christian.
Our successions support the work of restoration and sacramental ministry. They do not make the Christian Mysteries the property of any one church.
These Mysteries are the spiritual inheritance of every Christian, regardless of church or denomination. Participation does not require leaving your existing church.
