Belvitz Church Act

[_Bueno_ 492]

 

The Belvitz Church Act of 1669
 

By order of the City of Belvitz there is to be the creation of a new position in council. Due to absence of any immediate bishop to shepherd the flock of Belvitz and the surrounding diocese the City has decided to appoint a direct administrator. The Diocesan Vicar is to administer and manage the diocese of Belvitz autonomously and efficiently, working in coordination with the City and Church to shepherd the lost flock of Belvitz. He is to be appointed by the Belvitz City Government on recommendation of the local clergy.
