Hi Kevin
Sorry this is going to everyone but I don't know your personal email
address, also for this being delayed as I have been away. Does your
research extend to lesser know Christian denominations such as Christian
Science? Because they have a Manual written by the founder of CS - Mary
Baker Eddy, which gives extensive rules and regulations as to how the church
should be run. It is regarded as the highest authority in CS as it is
believed to be divinely inspired.
Yours Robin Harragin
