glosssary entry: title: document ref: manual ref: faux amis: context: 100.3. Parent-Affiliated Congregation. A congregation that is not incorporated civilly (102) may officially choose to become registered with the denomination as an independent congregation under a name that meets the criteria of the Manual (101). Such a church remains under the affiliation of another Nazarene church and such a congregation shall be referred to as a Parent-Affiliated Congregation until such time as it incorporates and becomes a Church-Type Mission (100.1) or a fully organized church (100). Such a congregation will be required to comply with all of the four criteria of a Multicongregational Church (100.2). One purpose of the Parent-Affiliated Congregation status would be to give ample time for leadership development as the congregation is moving toward becoming self-governing, self-supporting, and self-propagating. note:
