Authority: The Church has no authority, internal or external, that's not tied to its basic practices; doing what Jesus said and listening to the record of God's history with us. The Church has no authority to dispense with what that means.

Land: church property - property or income owned by a church.

Conflict: Instead of a place of comfort and reassurance, church conflict can create a battle ground for power struggles of various factions, victimizing the congregation and sabotaging pastoral leadership and church growth. Conflict is not necessarily bad.

Literacy: Unfortunately I don’t know this one :(
