Life in Christ demands a continual listening to the spirit with a response that takes into account the times we are living. Through the inspiration of the holy spirit a desire for unification and renewal of the universal church has arisen "so that all may be one".

We believe God has called us together from different Christian traditions to be a living testimony to God's purpose, people without doctrinal, dogmatic, racial, denominational or socio-economic conflict.

This is a powerful witness to membership in the body of Christ. 

Our Mission
To foster  Ecumenism by mutual knowledge and awareness.  
To build solidarity in prayer, communication and networking.
To facilitate unity, change and renewal  within the universal church and society.

Tracey Christopher+, Anchoress, Heartsong Hermitage, USA

      The church institution as it exist today is a good starting point for many.
Spirituality, not religion keeps me on my knees in prayer, spirituality maintains the desire to live Gospel values. The seeking of spiritual union with the Divine brought me to church for many years until my calling and spiritual needs were at odds with the institution, when truth was no longer found there. After stripping away much of the dogma and doctrine their is only a child-like faith and love of the Divine that grows daily because, HE is.
Exactly what many are in search of.
A spiritual life and relationship expressed as only the individual can in a relationship with the Almighty. To receive the stirrings of the heart and mind as only the Divine wills.
None of this is based on a prayer wheel of corporate prayer, pious words of a sermon or weekly lectionary readings.
Many home Bibles are covered in dust.
If the spiritual self is never found, expressed or remains stagnant, the church has not served it's people well.

     So much of our lives are spent with concerns of the past and planning for the future, so that our real existence, internal realities, our situation and environment fly by unnoticed.
So many people live in the past, especially reliving unhappy experiences.
They are only vaguely in the present now - the only moment when we can use our reason and will to do good or bad.  The only moment when we can go on our knees and pray.
