10.1.1.6 Other ecumenical events

Within the scope of our ecumenical efforts, it is possible to jointly execute choral and musical events, panel discussions, presentations, benefit events, or other events together with other denominations. These are events that take place outside of the context of the divine service and its liturgy.

Regardless of whether we act as hosts or guests, the following applies:

  • the District Apostle decides whether or not we will participate in such ecumenical events.
  • greetings or prayers that are consistent with our doctrinal statements may be spoken.
  • the stipulations governing our Church’s public relations work, as well as the external profile and identity of our Church, must always be followed.
