Definitive Commitments

A. We agree that the proper application of the headship order is for the Christian man to take seriously the Biblical commandment to be a Christ-like leader in the home and congregation and for the woman to complement him as his helper.

B. We agree that, in order to maintain a clear witness, the best application of the Biblical requirement of "long hair" for the sisters is "natural length". We also agree that the best application of the headship ordinance is that the sisters wear their veiling as a part of their regular attire. While a uniform style is not required across the Alliance, we do expect a veiling of substantial size.

C. We agree to refrain from all decorative jewelry, the wedding band, and any makeup that alters the natural appearance.

D. We agree to urge our constituency to exercise Spirit-directed caution in the use of all media. Whenever the use of any media promotes an ungodly worldview or a desensitization to sin, such use must be avoided (Psalm 101:3).
