Congregational / Free Church
tradition
Congregational / Free Church. Confession: the Savoy Declaration (1658); the Cambridge Platform. Central emphasis: the local congregation gathered under Christ's headship; the priesthood of all believers. The seed it has kept: the dignity and responsibility of the local body, ruled by Christ through his people. Anchored on: Matthew 18:20; 1 Peter 2:9; Acts 14:23. (Calibrated against the one plumb-line — Scripture in the original tongues and the ecumenical creeds — not judged; a tradition's gift, gathered.)
