I. Catholocity Matters
- It matters what happens in “all the churches” (I Cor. 1:3; 4:7; 11:16; 14:33; 14:40)
- It is expected that “tradition” will be honored (I Cor. 11:2; II Thess 2:15; 3:6)
- It is required that continuity with catholic practice be maintained
II. Communion of the Saints Matters
- Church consists of a diverse communion of saints (Gal 3:28)
- Catholic ministry targets the community, not a subculture w/in the community
III. Conclusion
