Ministers are dedicated to service for the welfare of mankind through the
guidance of Spirit for the betterment of mankind.
The Ministry is a public and sacred trust that requires of its practitioners,
integrity, compassion, belief in the dignity and worth of all human beings, a
commitment to service and a dedication to truth. It requires mastery of
individual spiritual gifts, and the knowledge and skill gained through
professional education and experience. The end sought is the performance of a
service with integrity, competence and spiritual love.

his/her professional relationships with those he/she serves, with colleagues,
with other professions, and with the community.
In abiding by this Code of Ethics, the ministry views obligation in as wide a
context as the situation requires, takes all principles into consideration and
chooses a course of action consistent with the codes of spirit and intent.
