Excerpt from Journal of the Provincial Synod, of the United Brethren's Church in the Northern Section of the United States of N. A: Held at Bethlehem, Pa., From the 2nd to the 23d of May, 1855 Sec. 8. We will endeavor, as much as lieth in us, to live in true fellowship and unity of Spirit with all children of God in other denominations, and serve them with a willing heart, as far as we are able. We will however, not enter with any one into religious controversy, but simply adhere to the fundamental principles laid down in the Holy Scriptures, faithfully and fearlessly confessing the truth. Sec. 9. Neither time nor circumstances, nor any thing else, shall divert us from following the important call given us by the Lord himself, upon which our covenant is founded; therefore we will by his grace main tain it as our most valuable treasure without wavering.
