Notices

We are pleased to announce to you all that the Ecumenical Catholic Communion has been officially recognized as a legitimate faith community by the Association of Professional Chaplains, the national association which certifies Chaplains based on credentials of a masters in theology or divinity and 1600 hours of supervised clinical work and 400 hours of classroom training. This now allows chaplains from the ECC, who are not certified, to attain certification through proper training and ECC endorsement.

 From Spiritus Dei ECC

Spiritus Dei ECC is a tithing community:  Our last tithe, 5% of our income, was donated to Merciful Love Connection’s work with unwed mothers in Chile. We also tithe 5% of our quarterly income to the National Ecumenical Catholic Communion.  (Emmaus ECC is part of this tithe, since we have been contributing our funds to them for the past year.  Once we are incorporated we will also be a tithing community).  

 Spiritual Reading Group:  North

About nine members of Spiritus Dei ECC  regularly meet to discuss books that have enriched our prayer and ministry experience and sparked energetic dialogue and personal sharing. Currently we’re reading The Prophet’s Way, Touching the Power of Life by Thom Hartmann, described as a
“. . . .marvelous, true-life spiritual adventure story. Hartmann makes his fractal pilgrim’s progress along the edge of chaos---social, political, psychological and spiritual . . . to the presence of God.”  We previously read, Radical hospitality, Benedict’s Way of Love, Holman and Pratt; The Discerning Heart, Wilkie & Noreen Au; Radical Amazement, Contemplative Lessons from Black Holes, Supernovas, and other Wonders of the Universe, Judy Cannato.
