The Constitution of Basileia expresses our charism, that is, the divine graces, distinctive orientation, spiritual qualifications, cultural ethos and special characteristics of the mission and values granted to us in Jesus Christ for the life of the world.
Milestone
On the Seventh Sunday of Pascha (Easter), 2014, Basileians joyfully marked a milestone in the process of ratifying Basileia's Constitution. The Basileia Alliance Presbyter Council met in Session on May 31, 2014, and after considering and weighing the input of all, recognized and judged accordingly that Basileia as a whole has now ratified the Constitution. Thanks be to God.
Councils
A council in Scripture is a circle of the Lord's own friends who join Him around a Table to discuss what His Word means and how it should be applied to new situations that no one has ever faced before. When consensus is reached in the the Lord's council, it can be imagined that after the decision is written down by scribes, the Lord then takes his signet ring and stamps the legislation as approved, authorizing its implementation on earth.
