We
carve the cross of Christ on the pagan stones, upon pagan hearts, in a
pagan world; reclaiming them for Christ and rejoicing in the power of
the Holy Spirit!

The
Ancient Orthodox Communion describes a network of hugely diverse
people, from different backgrounds, streams and edges of life. We are
united in our desire to embrace and express an ongoing exploration into
a new way for living Christianly – a way that offers hope in the changed
and changing culture of today’s world.?
Inspired
by, drawing from, and living the ancient tradition, the Community is geographically dispersed and strongly ecumenical but with
an identity rooted in the history and spiritual heritage of the undivided
Orthodox Church.

In seeking God as the ‘one thing necessary’
our continuing quest for a ‘new spirituality’ is the heart of our life
whether alone or together. It is this blending of ‘a prayer that is
quiet and contemplative and a faith that is active and contagious’,
lived out in the ordinariness of everyday life, which forms a
foundational basis for our growth and development.

This Communion is the gift of God to those
whose hearts are set on holiness and whose lives are constantly being
redefined and redirected by living the questions, ‘Who is it that you
seek?’ How then shall we live? How can we sing the Lord’s song in a
strange land? Keeping these questions alive sustains the ongoing journey
of discovery into the vocation of a new life.

As a Communion of the heart, all brothers
and sisters (wherever they may be) are united on this inner journey of
seeking God, knowing self, in order to learn how we can better live with
others and serve the world of our influence whether it be great or
small, ‘wherever the Father leads’

?greement
with The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church
The agreement is
based on three statements:
Each Communion
recognizes the catholicity and independence of the other and maintains its own.
Each Communion
agrees to admit members of the other Communion to participate in the
Sacraments.
Full 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 the essentials of the
Christian faith.
