Coequality doctrine and church attendance

 Unfortunately, attending certain major liturgical churches often requires congregants to stand and recite a creed that explicitly mentions being 'coequal and consubstantial.' Even in low-church or broad churches, there may still be expectations for any spoken contributions to align with these doctrines. If a church has a lay preaching program, it will likely scrutinize trainees on these points and may eliminate those who do not adhere. Additionally, many nonconformist churches require members to assent to their creed or statement of faith, which typically includes these clauses. Confirmation or baptism classes may also cover these doctrines.
