The Introduction of Church OrderAs our numbers increased, it was evident that without some form of organization there would be great confusion, and the work would not be carried forward successfully. To provide for the support of the ministry, for carrying the work in new fields, for protecting both the churches and the ministry from unworthy members, for holding church property, for the publication of the truth through the press, and for many other objects, organization was indispensable. {TM 26.2}

Kirkeorden indføres
Som vores medlemstal steg, var det klart at uden nogen form for organisering ville der blive en stor forvirring, og arbejdet ville ikke få heldig fremgang. For at skaffe prædikanterne underhold, for at føre arbejdet ud i nye områder, for at beskytte menighederne og præsteskabet mod uværdige medlemmer, for at fastholde menighedernes ejendomme, for at offentliggøre sandheden fra trykkeriet, og meget andet er organisation absolut nødvendigt.
