Structure
The Soldiers of the Cross of Christ Church is known for the distinctive white uniforms worn by its ministers. Early in its history, the church was organized in a highly hierarchical fashion by its founder, Sellers. The church conferred upon Sellers, and later on his successors, the rank of Apostle. All other ministers are assigned a missionary rank which they display on the sleeves of their church uniforms. Duties and authorities vary according to rank, and every minister must take new vows upon being promoted to a new rank. Currently, the church is governed by a Supreme Council that is made up of bishops, and presided over by Miguel Rodriguez, the Apostle-Director of the church.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
