Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches

The Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches is an Anglican Christian communion, formed in 1995 largely as a result of the Convergence Movement. The CEEC converges the evangelical, charismatic, liturgical, and sacramental traditions of the Christian faith. It is neither part of the Anglican Communion nor a Continuing Anglican denomination.

The fundamental principles defining inclusion in the Communion are detailed in the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral of 1886.

The four basic statements are:

The CEEC International College of Archbishops now numbers 9 (as of 2014), together with 56 bishops representing provincial families around the world. Rather than jurisdictional lines built upon geographic areas, the CEEC establishes many of their dioceses and provinces relationally. However, they have also begun to establish some geographically oriented provinces and apostolates. For example, the Communion website shows a Province of India and a Province of the UK and Eastern Europe. [1] Also, on May 31, 2014 the Communion established the Apostolate of Saint Francis for the Mediterranean and Middle East. [2]

The CEEC ordains women to the diaconate and priesthood.

Most parishes in the U.S. use the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of The Episcopal Church. The CEEC's practice here is in contrast to most of the Continuing Anglican churches use the 1928 edition or earlier versions of the BCP.
