Teaching
The apostles of the United Apostolic Church started to reform the new apostolic teachings from 1970 on. In 1984 a sort of catechism the so called Book of Faith was edited by all apostles of the union. From 1990 on the European apostles started to discuss ordination of women and decided upon in 2004. They also changed the views on the understanding of the nature of church, the sacraments and the ministries. The Australian and South-African partners (see also: Apostolic Church of South Africa - Apostle Unity) did not follow completely. Therefore there are actually not only differences in liturgy but also in teaching.
The ministry of the apostle is much more relevant for salvation in the Southern hemisphere and the priesthood of all believers is much more neglected.
