Mr. DiNenno,

Just so I am on the same page here and have a correct understanding of your personal position on this matter, this is what I have gathered from what you have written here thus far:

• You acknowledge that there are positions in the Church which are called "Pastor" and/or "Elder".
• However, all believers are "priests" in their own right, including any officers, and thus they are all to be deemed "equal" and given the exact same privileges/responsibilities.
• The preaching of the Word and/or administration of the sacraments (baptism and the Lord's Table) can be performed by any true believer at any time and any place and is not restricted to those who have been ordained to any office.

Would this be an accurate summary of your view?

In His Grace,
