A True Christian


"A (true) Christian is of no sect: He can dwell in the midst of sects, and appear in their services, without being attached or bound to any.  He has but one knowledge, and that is, Christ in him.  He seeks but one Way, which is the desire always to do and teach that which is right; and he puts all his knowing and willing into the Life of Christ" Jacob Boehme.

Passing of the Primate of the OCR, Archbishop ++Peter Paul Patrick, John Jude, Hugh Francis, Brennan

Earlier this morning, I received notice that the Primate of the Order of Corporate Reunion was declining in health and that Archbishop Michael Kline was taking on temporary powers of Primate.  We have since received notice of his passing.  May He Rest In Peace.  The Requiem Mass for Archbishop Brennan will be celebrated at the altars of priests around the World.  Archbishop Michael Kine is now the Primate of the Order of Corporate Reunion.  May the Holy Spirit guide him and strengthen him.

Archbishop Brennan worked tirelessly to bring about ecumenical cooperation amongst Christian clergy world wide.  He also had the distinction of having been made a knight in the United Templar Rite in Jerusalem by the Primate of the Greek Melchite Catholic Church.  For a detailed summary of Archbishop Peter Paul Brennan's contributions to Christian Unity and bridge building with the Metropolitans and heads of Eastern and Western Rite Catholics, Orthodox, Anglican and Independent churches, please visit the Apostolic Episcopal Church's well written account here.

Sovereign Lord, as you promised, dismiss now Your servant in peace. For my eyes have
seen Your Salvation which You have prepared in the sight of all people, a Light for

Revelation to the gentiles and for Glory to Your people Israel... (Luke, ii, 29-32)
