Three Streams & The Charismatic Episcopal Church
"The Charismatic Episcopal Church exists to make visible the Kingdom of God to the nations of the world; to bring the rich sacramental and liturgical life of the early church to searching evangelicals and charismatics; to carry the power of Pentecost to our brothers and sisters in the historic churches; and finally, to provide a home for all Christians who seek a liturgical-sacramental, evangelical, charismatic church and a foundation for their lives and gifts of ministry." http://iccec.org/
This statement from the Charismatic Episcopal Church, is in essence, the very thrust for this blog. That is, discover the principles of Christian Spiritual Life from throughout the history of the church; to discover principles from both protestant and catholic; and the charismatic/pentecostal, Biblical/ebangelical, and sacramental/liturgical/catholic streams of our common Christian Faith.
The aim of the Christian Life is simply to become more Christ-like in our spiritual pilgrimage. The spiritual life is so much bigger and richer and deeper than our own experience or opinions alone. It has a two thousand year old history and there is much to learn from the Church Fathers, Saints, and the Protestant Divines.
So, please join me on this journey...

As one who was in the Philipines for the convocation and witnessed clergy getting drunk in public and the patriarch of the denomination making a mokery of the altar I would say it is certainly not Catholic in it's outlook
