Iccec, What Is It?

[saintwannabe 777]

What is the international communion of the charismatic episcopal church? It's not affiliated with Rome or Anglican communion and I'm confused as to what it could be. Not that I'd consider joining it, I'm just curious.

The International Communion of the Charismatic Episcopal Church (ICCEC) is a part of a movement within the universal church called convergence worship. It is a home for those who are seeking a church whose worship is fully charismatic, fully evangelical, and fully sacramental and liturgical.

Just another "church" that appears to have charismatic-liturgical worship They imitate many of our external practices. Nor does their imitation of Catholic worship make them Catholics. If some stranger were my double in appearance, that would not make him my blood brother. The only way to be a Catholic is to be one.

From their web site

"We are men and women of faith gathered from diverse backgrounds, seeking an expression of the church that is fully sacramental-liturgical, evangelical and charismatic. We are a church that is submitted to the authority of scripture, as interpreted by the continuing witness of the ancient church, and governed by consensus. Our worship is biblical, liturgical and Spirit filled, ancient and contemporary, holy and joyful. We are committed to advancing God's kingdom by proclaiming the Gospel to the least, the lost, and the lonely."

The International Communion of the Charismatic Episcopal Church is not, and has never been, affiliated with the Episcopal Church USA or the Anglican Communion
