  3. Honor the leadership of our family of churches.
  4. Honor the present senior leader.
  5. Honor the new senior leader.
  6. Honor the elders and the leaders of the church in the process.
  7. Honor the members of the church body in the process.
  8. Honor the process of leadership succession.
