¶401-403 Deals with "The Ministry of the Called." It establishes a basic theological framework for ordained church leadership, beginning with Certified Lay Ministers but then getting into Deacons and Elders.

We also try (and largely fail) to suss out where the boundary lines are between the different roles for leadership in the church. We hope you enjoy!
