catechism of the American Book of Common Prayer (1979) as a starting point. The council's stated goal was that the new catechism would reflect the fullness of the ancient catholic and orthodox faith, and the Reformation, as it is expressed in the world contemporarily. The Catechism of the ICCEC has been made publicly available through the internet. San Clemente Declaration In 1999 the ICCEC issued The San Clemente Declaration, a statement of principles governing the CEC's communion with other Christian bodies. The articles of the declaration are as follows: Worship Worship in the ICCEC is formulated off the principles of the Convergence Movement. Clergy dress in traditional clerical attire and vestments (alb, stole, etc.) in liturgical worship. The principal worship service of the week is the Holy Eucharist. Many parishes follow the liturgy of the American version of the Book of Common Prayer (1979). A provisional sacramentary drafted by the Worship & Music Committee of the Northeast [U.S.] Diocese, which includes Roman, Anglican and Eastern rites, is in wide trial use. Some parishes use other worship rites, such as the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, or other Anglican, Roman, or Eastern rites. Worship in the ICCEC is to follow “the shape of the historic liturgy” while maintaining “that blessed liberty with which Christ has set us free”. Music is often contemporary and lively, but ancient hymns and chants are also incorporated in most parishes, reflecting a broad church attitude in contrast with the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches more low church worship. Many worship services have times of “ministry in the Holy Spirit”, during which such things as prophetic messages, anointing and prayers for healing, and other charismatic gifts are active.
