It is the duty of the Spiritual Life Ministries Committee, before presenting the name of an applicant for membership, to ascertain whether he or she makes a credible profession of faith in Christ as Savior, which is attested in his or her manner of life. The applicant should be in agreement with the Basic Beliefs (see Part I Chapter 2) and will conform to Friends doctrine and practice as stated in this Faith and Practice. Its judgment on these matters is passed on, with the application, to the local or extension meeting, which acts to accept or reject the application. The clerk notifies the applicant as to the action of the meeting.
