Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Reliability tier 1: the Episcopal Church's own governing constitution and canons, the primary institutional text defining its own disciplinary law. NotesTier 1: the denomination's own governing canon, published on its own General Convention and Title IV resource domains, and the denomination's own account of its disciplinary standard rather than an outside body's finding about it.
