An Episcopal History of the ICCEC in Less than One Minute
The ICCEC was formed in 1992 by a group of folks who came to recognize the value and necessity of tradition and the stuff of tradition: sacraments, liturgy, apostolic succession:
The ICCEC received apostolic succession through Anglican lines of succession whereupon it established its own autonomous patriarchate. Eventually, the ICCEC lost faith in the validity of Anglican lines of succession and ultimately procured apostolic succession from the Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil, a denomination founded by a former Catholic bishop, Carlos Duarte Costa, immediately after being excommunicated by Pope Pius XII in 1945.
Today the ICCEC has almost 1000 churches in 20 countries.

What are you afraid of?
Doesn't the word of God say...paraphrasing...
"If the origin of the ICCEC is from men, and not from God, then it will amount to nothing, but if it is from God, then you're only blogging against God."
An Episcopal History of the ICCEC in only 14 years
Amazing what God can do.
The ICCEC was formed in 1992 by other Christian leaders ( a bunch of nobodys to RC and other Christian denominations) who believed God spoke to about recognizing the value and necessity of tradition and the stuff of tradition: sacraments, liturgy, apostolic succession:
And in only 14 years, 1000 churches in 20 countries. Maybe God is up to something!
Time will tell. I pray God is up to something. I can only hope and pray that if the current leadership is sour, that God will in His mercy, replace it and the ICCEC will grow and prosper under a full "house of bishops" rather than one self-appointed Patriarch.
