Objectives and Membership
The Guild states its objectives as follows:
- to raise the spiritual tone of altar servers;
- to promote a conscientious performance of the duties of altar servers; and
- to encourage more frequent attendance at the Holy Eucharist, in addition to times of duty.
Membership is open to any man or woman who is an altar server in the Church of England and 'accepts Catholic Faith and Practice'. (In the context of the Guild, Catholic is understood to mean 'of the universal church' and NOT 'Roman Catholic'.)

Famous quotes containing the words objectives and/or membership:
“Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
