To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
POLITY.
The polity of the church is a modified episcopacy, but the societies and associated bodies are left the utmost freedom in the administration of their local affairs. Each local Society of the New Church elects its pastor and other officers, including a president, treasurer, secretary, and church committee. In some cases certain privileges are allowed to parishioners or pew holders who are not communicant members. The different societies are gathered in associations com- posed of the mini...sters and of lay members elected by the societies.
The General Convention is held annually, and every church member has a right to be present, take part in the deliberations, be appointed on committees, and be elected to office, but the right to vote is limited to ministers whose official acts are reported to the con- vention, and to delegates of associations. In some cases women are sent as delegates.
The convention is an ecclesiastical, a legislative, and a judicial body — ecclesiastical in maintaining the orders of the ministry and of worship, and in providing for missions and for the education of ministers; legis- lative in maintaining its own organization and enacting measures for the carrying on of its various activities; and judicial in admitting ministers to its roll or dis- missing them therefrom, and in promoting pastors to the general pastorate.
