PART 1/9 Brian Barton opens a new series on "Assembly Principles" in this wide ranging message looking at assembly reception and the subject of "fellowship".

He answers a number of foundational questions: 'who can be received into an assembly?', 'what does the autonomy of an assembly mean?' 'what is a letter of commendation?' and 'how are assemblies formed?' among many others questions.

This message was delivered via Zoom during the third national lock-down as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
