    • In the interview clip with Stan Powers, he said that credentialling "defined the relationship" between ACOP and the credential holder.  Why is that important?

    The answers to both questions go hand-in-hand. Credentialling is defining the relationship between those who work with/for the ACOP, so that there is no awkwardness or confusion about what the connotation or expectations are behind what this relationship is. Furthermore, the gain the bonus of having that clear understanding between you and your fellowship, and this gives them opportunities to protect and support you in the best way possible.

    Defining a relationship is very important to ensure people know their responsibilities and can be held accountable. It also takes away any awkwardness that may come from blurred relationship lines. The benefits of being credentialed are knowing you belong in a group, and having the support of other credentialed members. Becoming credentialed also highlights the relationship between a person and ACOP which is very beneficial for both parties.

    1. It is important in the credentialing process to “define the relationship” between the applicant and the ACOP because it gives a certain level of accountability and provides clarity to both parties about the common goals shared by both parties. It is not good to have a relationship that is not defined as this can lead to awkwardness or confusion about roles, but credentialling defines the responsibility and relational roles between all members.

    2. The benefits of holding credentials with ACOP are that it is like a “stamp of approval” by a certified organization that can say that the individual is trustworthy. It is helpful to have in any ministerial role as it shows that the individual has been checked and put through a process to check their trustworthiness. It also serves as a network to connect you with other individuals in ministry.

    Defining relationships allows for agreement to engage or disengage from relationship. If the terms of relationship are clearly understood and communicated then all parties involved are powerful to make powerful choices whether to engage in relationship or disengage. This allows for preservation of vision, mission and culture. Unity is strengthened through well defined relationships. Well defined relationships can work together in synergy. Accountability and relationship are the benefits of holding Credentials with ACOP.
