This is the home of St. Andrew's Ecumenical Church Foundation.®
Office of the Bishop Primus (TIFPEC). Our mission is to carry out the ecumenical witness that is our call as believers in Christ. As stated in John 17:20-24, we seek Christian unity so that all may be all one as Christ and God are one.
Our work and ministry begins at the table of the Lord, where Jesus issues the call for all to be welcomed and receive the gifts of God through him. We look forward to the day when there are no barriers to the faith we share in Christ in the Church and worldwide.
Here you will find news of the Council and resources to aid in your ecumenical ministry and growth.
Please look around and send your comments, questions or suggestions to

We cannot pit the spiritual life against the logical life. We dont grow spiritually just by getting our emotions all worked up and feeling good about how close we are to God. We grow spiritually when we grow intellectually. Now, that is not to say that our relationship with Jesus can be reduced to just thinking about religious concepts, or that somehow we can do it on our own without His Grace. No, His Grace is essential for intellectual growth that enables us to know God better so that we might follow Him more closely. Our openness to the Holy Spirit cannot be measured by how spontaneous and emotional we are, rather the Holy Spirit calls us to be logical, constant, faithful, persistent and diligent. True love for God produces a desire to know Him more deeply so that we might gain insight into His Wisdom in order that we might fulfill His will in our lives. We use our intellect to find Gods will as opposed to just accepting whatever makes us feel good.
Without knowledge even zeal is not good; and he who acts hastily, blunders. [Proverbs 19:2]
