Why doesnt St. Paul/ARC respect conciliar systems and Church authority?
The Diocese of St. Paul/ARC, as part of the worldwide Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, respects the conciliar and episcopal authorities within the Anglican Communion as well as other polities within the Christian community. ARC recognizes, however, that in many cases these bodies are broken, and not operating in Gods will as we understand it. Thus we cannot accept the governance of these bodies where they hinder our work to fulfill Gods call to us.
