We believe it is the privilege and the right of local churches to cooperate with each other in carrying out the commission of the Lord; that such cooperation is rightly effected only when the principles of Christ are preserved in the work fostered; and that all associated endeavors of local churches should be carried on in such a way as to preserve the sovereign integrity of each local body in all matters of faith and practice.
