What I hear in this message is this: The ministers are advocates who help bind families together in the kingdom of heaven. Ultimately, a minister should be able to step out of the way, and the families will still be able to interact wholesomely. This results as ministers do what God asks them to do as they interact among the families. The minister’s interactions begin with those how elected him as their minister, but the minister progresses to guide interactions with other congregations (CoRE to CoRE interactions). The minister advocates a functioning network, because that is the essence of a kingdom founded on principles of liberty and justice.

Within a CoRE, a minister encourages the elders toward loving one another. The minister stands at the altar of Christ to facilitate the flow of the offerings which can meet needs which arise. The needs can be within or outside of the CoRE. The minister who is led by the Spirit of the Almighty is guided to maintain God's law, in justice and mercy and faith and righteousness ... by means of God's love graced upon him. But each Elder also needs to be led by the same Spirit, in the same set of weightier matters to express the same quality of love.
