+Most Rev.Peter Leers,DD,LLD - TIFPEC
TIFPEC brings the Word of God to millions of people, in every country in the world.
To us the essence of Anglican Christianity is that, within the guidelines of scripture, tradition, and reason, we can agree to disagree but come to the same Table -- even if on different sides. We cleave to the middle way, in which we each have whatever level of personal relationship with God we are comfortable with, relying on corporate worship to keep us centred within the boundaries of love. Church Ministers must remain free and unrestrained either in conscience, intelligence, or feelings, because they represent diversity in Unity. I'm trying to identify ideas that are true and valuable, and to separate them from misconceptions. The Christian faith isn't about you or me or that power-seeking bishop over there. It's about Christ. To be an Anglican is to be on a journey of faith to God supported by a fellowship of co-believers who are dedicated to finding Him by prayer and service. I see a bishop as a leader, servant, president, teacher, pastor, administrator and symbol of unity.
Working with other faiths and traditions
Ecumenism is about Christians around the world working together locally, nationally and internationally as part of a global Christian movement. The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church (TIFPEC) is committed to developing and strengthening its ecumencial relations around the world and it does this through the work of its
St. Andrew's Ecumenical Church Foundation.®
TIFPEC is a church a multi-racial fellowship of ever Ethnic, Educational, and Economical diversity. We believe that the scripture is being fulfilled that says they shall know that you are my disciples by the love you have one for another.
The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church is an independent church in the evangelical anglican tradition.
Anglicanism, one of the largest associations of Christian churches in the world, has its heritage in the Church of England.
Features of this heritage include being:
biblical it holds to the unique authority of the Bible
creedal it upholds the teachings of the classic Christian creeds
confessional it subscribes to The Thirty-Nine Articles of the Anglican Church
liturgical it uses forms of service that are consistent with the teaching and practice of The Book of Common Prayer.
TIFPEC is dedicated to helping Liberia rebuild its institutions, educate its children and improve the quality of life for all who live there, as we did in 1965.
This web site is for the Anglican (Episcopal) Church around the world. Its purpose is to help us Anglicans and Episcopalians communicate with each other more easily, and to help everyone learn about our church.The serious growth of our Communion and the increased number of bishops make this a challenging project in our attempts to enable the ministry of global prayer and support.`We are not a mission but a church with a mission.'Our goal at The International Free Protestant Episcopal University is to provide fellowship, support and training to those who feel a call to herald the message of Christ, crucified and risen from the dead. Our calling has been foreordained to use the Internet as a tool to reach many nations and help raise up ministries in those nations."We join in a holy brotherhood and with the help of God, will fight the evils of the world". Jesus said the kingdom of God is like a "net" cast into the sea, bringing forth a great catch of fish.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
TIFPEC believes everyone should enjoy the freedom to proclaim the Word of God as imparted to them by the Holy Spirit.
A liberal Christian freedom has to be understood in four regards:
(1) freedom from doctrinal fixations;
(2) freedom to accept biblical tradition on the line of the spirit;
(3) freedom of conscience, religious liberty: and
(4) "freedom to encounter people of other faiths in the desire of learning and without anxiety; with the purpose to get familiar with each other and to understand each other; in the mutual attitude of openness to the unconditional ground of truth".
The Church is governed by an Episcopate who, along with a non stipend clergy are not bound by vows of celibacy. "The relationship between the archbishops of Northern and South America, Africa and Europe has traditionally been important. I hope that together we may develop a creative and collaborative partnership in the service of the whole church and for the fulfilment of the ministry and mission entrusted to us all."
