Dear Michael,

You are more than welcome!

They also list a number of Lutherans in their calendar, including a commemoration of Martin Luther, which includes Catholic and Orthodox saints. They do use the term "Orthodox Catholic Christian" to describe themselves.

They argue that Martin Luther was closer to the East than to the West, even though they correct his theology along Eastern lines.

The term "Evangelical Catholic" has been used by High Church Anglicans, but mainly by High Lutherans dedicated to a liturgical renewal of their communion and to closer links with the Catholic and Orthodox Churches - more power to them!

Dear Orthodox Catholic,

Quite interesting link concerning the Evangelical Catholic Church.

It looks, from my vantage point, that these people are extremely high Lutherans who are catholic. The liturgy looks to be a synthesis of the Byzantine Divine Liturgy and the Lutheran worship service.
I found it quite interesting about the apostolic succession page on the site.

Thank you very much for posting this informative link.

RE: Baptism by pouring, if I remember the rubrics correctly (I am writing at work and don't have my ritual with me [Linked Image]), according to the new Rite of Baptism for infants emersion is the prefered method of administering the Sacrament for all the reasons previous posters have listed. Most new R.C. churches in the USA are installing fonts capable of doing just that....but to be honest, I have never witnessed a baptism by emersion in any of the local parishes. I only know what I have heard that it does happen more and more. Interestingly enough, the only Eastern Catholic baptism I have witness was of an adult and done by pouring. :-) Pax et bonum y'all!

Don

Bless, Father Don!

I must apologize, but I went after Serge on another thread for calling you "vagante."

Do you consider yourself to have ever been a "vagante?"

I didn't like Serge applying that term to you. I apologized to him, but he may be dissed with me with good reason.

Sorry about that,

Alex
