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.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“Raising human beings is a process of teaching children right from wrong and turning them into responsible individuals.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“The most important part of teaching = to teach what it is to know.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
