What is the role of the “clergy” wthin the Ante-Nicene Christian Faith?
The role of the clergy within the Ante-Nicene Community is much like that of clergy in any other community of the Body of Christ. However it should be stated that the “Clergy” within Ante-Nicene communities are not the “rulers” of our community of Faith. They are servants of and ministers to the local Ante-Nicene Community and the general population in service to Our Lord Jesus Christ. They constitute “part of the Eldership” of our community of Faith but are not “the” Eldership of our community. They are charged with the edification in the Faith of our community members and their families as well as the preservation of that same faith.
