An attempt to assemble information on the earliest members - to honour and remember them - something which has been woefullyoverlooked |

| Ministerial Policies & Resources | Visiting Program; Guidebooks; DELS; YOU; YES; Preparing for the Ministry; Ordination Certificate; Marriage Ceremony. The 'Ministerial Bulletins' are found in the 'Archives of all WCG Literature' (above). NB: much of these have been superseded and are uploaded merely for historical and research purposes. | |

NB: in terms of administration, policy and even doctrine, many of the papers have been superseded or are dated. Many theses were not doctrines but just that, theses. On the other hand some guidelines and teachings seem to have been forgotten over the years. Anyway, I merely upload this information to my site for archiving and research – and it is certainly interesting to see how the Church worked and thought in those days.
