In the Church there are a lot of different types of ministry but they all unite us in the mission of God.
»The members of the church serve in unity. »The laity are made to share the priestly, prophetical, and kingly office of Christ. »Both groups (hierarchy and laity) are Consecrated to God
»Hierarchy« »Christ is the source of ministry in the church »Faith in the church can not be bestowed on themselves, faith must be given or offered. »Bishops and Priests receive "the sacred Power" from God.
»The Sacramental Nature of Ecclesial Ministry is that of a collegial character.
» The Sacramental Nature of Ecclesial Ministry has a personal character although Christ's servers act in communion with one another. It has a personal character because each one is called personally, "you,follow me"
»When God instituted the twelve apostles he did it in the form of a college. --Peters successor, Bishops, and successors of the apostles are related with one another.
» God made Simon or Peter the "rock" of the church. He made Peter the head of the church.
»Peter is part of the church's foundation and this is continued out by the Bishops under the Pope.

»College Bishops exercise power over the Church in an ecumenical council. -- Conference of experts to discuss and settle matters of the Church.
»Individual Bishops are the visible source for their own particular Church.
