Second, the local church is to be autonomous, free from any external authority or control, with the right of self-government and freedom from the interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations (Titus 1:5).
Pili, kanisa lenyewe linafaa kujitawala, liko huru kutoka mamlaka yoyote ya nje au udhibiti, na haki ya kujitawala na uhuru kutokana na kuingiliwa na uongozi wowote wa watu binafsi au mashirika (Tito 1:5).
