In saying that we are Convergent, we mean that we are part of the Convergence and
Independent Sacramental Movements. We believe in promoting unity but not uniformity within the Church of Christ by bringing together the Sacramental/Catholic, Evangelical, and Charismatic streams of Christianity. Instead of the major branches of the Church being seen as in opposition, they are instead complementary.

In saying that we are Christian, we mean that we are followers of Jesus Christ. We believe in the Scriptures, creeds, sacraments, and episcopate that united all Christians in the early church.

In saying that we are a Communion, we mean that we are a community of faith rooted in the divine love Jesus exemplified, as well as the brotherly and sisterly love Christians should share with one another as God's Children.

This Prayer Book reflects over 5 years of dedicated work by the Bishops and Liturgy
Committee of the Convergent Christian Communion. The Rites and Rituals found herein draw from the deep wells of Christian tradition, allowing us to present a fuller picture of the liturgical practice of a Convergent Christian.
