CABF Credentials Policy

At a Special Meeting of the CABF Membership held on June 16, 2022, a revised Credentials Policy was adopted. You can view the revised Credentials Policy here.

This policy enables the granting of CABF Association licenses and the establishment of ordination councils. It also provides the procedure through which clergy accredited by other religious bodies acceptable to the CABF may be granted accreditation by the CABF, and the conditions under which authorization to perform marriages may be sought.
