ST.ANDREW'S ECUMENICAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP INTERCOLLEGIATE
50th Anniversary of St.Andrew's Correspondence College 1955-2005
In the future will be only the one Fellowship, and its title will be as shown above.The reason is, that it will embrace all departments of our Christian education, and at the same time reduce the administrative work entailed. The Fellowship will therefore elect FELLOWS who have graduated through the St. Andrew's Ecumenical Intercollegiate and those who have graduated through the International Free Protestant Episcopal University. ( TIFPEU ) "The world is beginning to understand that Episcopal University is very good at providing excellent teaching and resources to students no matter what their cultural or ethnic background, where they live or how they want to study," we don't have to be the biggest, the oldest or the best funded university to be recognised for doing what we do best. "What we do best at TIFPEU is to maintain an international relationship with all graduates and students and thus enhance the cultural, spiritual, and social spirit of St. Andrew's Ecumenical Church Foundation and The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church. A further object is to gather careful, analytical, and helpful research thesis, and such add to the library archives of the Church. We had in the past a most multicultural campus with students from nearly fifty different countries studying degree and postgraduate programs. "Students can study from a distance using traditional paper-based materials, computer-assisted materials or the most sophisticated web-based materials via EPISCOPAL UNIVERSITY Online from home anywhere in the world." Conclusion In conclusion, Holy Canons together with the Church's canonical tradition assure the parameters of preserving her life and nurturing her mission on earth. As the mystical Body of Christ, the Holy Church disposes of her own means to achieve salvation for all her members. Since her mission is predominantly spiritual, the Church is to be more a divine institution than a secular entity or corporation. As long as the Church retains her divine authority and purpose, the holy Canons together with the canonical tradition - both emanating from her - will remain an essential part of her function as the body of Christ. Just as Christ Himself, so neither orqodoxia nor orqopraxia depend on local or universal "recognition", as if there were such a thing anyway. It is our belief that coming to spiritual agreement on what we believe jointly and mutually, what we hold to be the essentials of our holy Orthodox faith, will eventually lead us all to move upon the strands of agreement. Only the faith we all share, along with the Christian love we preach and live, shall lift Orthodoxy to move to a more united, less legal, rather more co-operative place in the same Holy Spirit who naturally guides all sister churches and jurisdictions towards each other.
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. Take advantage of the powerful tool that has taken us many years to prepare for you. Schism, however, lasts for centuries and is very difficult to reverse. Schism has never resolved a conflict. It is moreover utter disobedience of our Lord, who commands us without exception to 'love one another as he has loved us.'"

Christ our Teacher, you alone are the way, the truth and the life: so lead the Theological Education group in its work, building trust and understanding, that, in sharing our stories, vision and resources, all your people may grow in faith and your whole Church built up in love, in the power of the Holy Spirit and to the glory of the Father. Amen. The 'Protestant' nature of this Church; The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church has always seemed to wish to distinguish itself as clearly as possible from the dominant Roman Catholic Church.
