*Protocol: Let all things be done decently and in order. To avoid extended services, devotion and invitation, and closing remarks times should approximate 5 with 10 minutes being the max. Both men and women ministers may occupy the pulpit/platform as such during TLCMBC activities. Such men exercise some measure of spiritual authority and leadership over both men and women. Per the biblical male headship principle, such women exercise some measure of authority and leadership over women but not men. This is to be the attitude of all occupying the pulpit/platform and the pew, physically and/or virtually.
