PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES FOR BAPTIST CM

Description

EDWARD HOSCOX

This indispensable guide to the adminIstration of Baptist churches contains a wealth of information that is also applicable to all churches who follow an independent or congregational church polity. Hiscox’s classic work, organized by subject for quick reference, not only presents the principles of self governance for the independent church, but also discusses other crucial topics such as church membership, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, ordination, and church discipline. Helpful appendixes include historical Baptist statements of belief; rules of order; and sample forms, including a letter of commendation, meeting minutes, and a certificate of ordination.
