Agreement of Inter-Communion
between the
International Ecumenical Catholic Church and the
Ecumenical Catholic Church
Whereas: Each Communion recognizes the catholicity and independence of the other and maintains its own;
Whereas: Each Communion agrees to admit members of the other Communion to participate in the Sacraments;
Whereas: Inter-Communion does not require from either communion the acceptance of all doctrinal opinion, sacramental devotion, or liturgical practice characteristic of the other, but implies that each believes the other to hold all essential elements of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Faith;
Now Therefore, we as duly authorized representatives of our respective jurisdictions, as a sign of recognition that we are in mutual spiritual kinship and support within the historic Catholic tradition of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church:
Do hereby: Sign this Agreement of Inter-communion between the International Ecumenical Catholic Church and the Ecumenical Catholic Church, on this Fifth day of January in the year of our Lord, Two-Thousand and Fifteen (2015).
