A NEW LIGHT: The Ecumenical Catholic Communion
Dean C. Jones, Ph.D.

    

     "The story of the emergence of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion at thedawn of the 21st century is one of the many examples that something wonderful is happening in the Church.  God is at work.  The Holy Spirit is working in the hearts of people and in organizations around the world.  The renewal of the Christianity of our time is especially evident along the fringes of Catholicism.  The ECC could not be more Catholic. We haveonly embraced and enriched our common Catholic heritage.  Dean Jones is the first to write a book that tells the story of a people who are coming to be called 'Ecumenical Catholics.' " - Bishop Peter Hickman, presiding Bishop of the ECC

     "Some of the most important words in this book point to the reality of the universal nature of Catholicism of which the ECC is part.  As Bishop Peter Hickman affirmed at the ordination of Sheila Dierks, the ECC does not intend to start a new church.  The ECC is, by intention, a 'Communion'...part of the church overall, as Roman Catholicism is also a part of the whole church.  For emphasizing such important distinctions, as well as the efforts of the ECC to bring reconciliation to the Church, this book and the work of the ECC merit serious attention."  - Charles Davis, ECC Chancellor for Ecumenical Dialogue
