What is the essential characteristic of the liturgy or services that the ICJ produces?
17A. In order to serve the Polydox community, the ICJ has produced services whose essential characteristic is that they are theologically open, that is, noncreedal and undogmatic. In a Polydox community, every person has the right to her or his own theological beliefs. Thus services intended for the general Polydox community must be theologically open so that persons with different theological views can participate with integrity and authenticity in the same service.
