Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
One autonomous province's own official site hosting its own Provincial Synod resolution in full; stands for the restrictive end of a division a paired scholarly source documents across all three named provinces, not for the worldwide Unitas Fratrum, which issues no single ruling on this question.
Notes
Cited for the Moravian Church's sexuality-position detail, the Eastern West Indies Province's 2009 resolution.
