By the authority entrusted to me as Presiding Bishop of the Interfaith Christian Church, I, Bishop Andrew Michael, do hereby erect and establish the Saint Joseph the Worker Interfaith Christian Virtual Chapel as an official virtual chapel and missionary ministry of this Church for worship, prayer, catechesis, pastoral care, and the celebration of the sacraments across all present and future new media platforms; and I further declare and decree that the sacraments and ecclesial rites administered in and through this Virtual Chapel—whether live or pre-recorded—are valid sacraments of the Interfaith Christian Church and shall be received as such by the faithful, with the Church’s order of ministry remaining in full force (deacons being the baptized not yet confirmed, priests being the confirmed, bishops being ordained from among the priests, and only bishops ordaining bishops), effective immediately this 5th day of March, 2026
