Which action is listed as a right of an ordained minister?

• A. Establish Churches
• B. Draft Civil Legislation
• C. Manage City Budgets
• D. Appoint Police Officers

Answer: (A)

Establishing churches reflects the leadership role of an ordained minister within church governance. Ordination typically authorizes a minister to organize and oversee religious communities, plant new congregations, and guide worship and pastoral care within the denomination’s structure. This is a spiritual and ecclesiastical responsibility tied to building and sustaining the church.

Drafting civil legislation, managing city budgets, and appointing police officers are functions of civil government and public administration. They involve state or municipal offices, laws, and public duties outside the church’s spiritual leadership.
