St. Andrew's Ecumenical Research Fellowship Inc.
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. TIFPEC and St. Andrew's Ecumenical Church Foundation® and St. Andrew's Ecumenical Research Fellowship Intercollegiate® has a history of sending out and supporting people dedicated to spreading the Good News about Jesus. Ecumenical: The word ecumenical comes from a Greek word that means pertaining to the whole world. In Christianity it means pertaining to the whole Christian church, and describes the pursuit of unity in the Christian world, between Christian denominations, and the universality of the Church. In the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches an ecumenical council is a council of nearly all bishops of the whole church, capable of infallible decisions on theological questions. Catholics construe "the whole church" as including only Catholics. Eastern Orthodoxy construes it as including only, and with the consent of all of, the Orthodox; which, they contend, since the Great Schism, consists of only the Eastern Orthodox . 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". I wish the active participation of the whole Church (bishops, clergy, and laity) in every aspect of the Church's life.[Man] must be liberated from fixation upon his own subjective needs and compulsions, and recognize that he cannot fully become himself until he knows his need for the world and his duty in serving it. In bare outline, mans service to the world consists not in brandishing weapons to destroy other men and hostile societies, but in creating an order based on Gods plan for his creation, beginning with a minimum standard for a truly human existence for all men. Living space, law and order, nourishment for all, are basic needs without which there can be no peace and no stability on earth. We are Universal, Ecclesiastical, Episcopal, Evangelical, Missionary. This Church practices basic Christian traditions offering open Communion to all baptized Christians. Just as Christ sacrificed his life for us to reconcile the world to himself, those who claim to follow him must make sacrifices as they carry out the work of reconciliation. Acquired rights, and likewise privileges hitherto granted by the Bishop Primus to either physical or juridical persons, which are still in use and have not been revoked, remain intact, unless they are expressly revoked by the canons of this Code.
