THE APOSTOLIC EPISCOPAL CHURCH “PROFESS TO BE A BRANCH OF THE EASTERN CHURCH AND, THEREFORE, A VALID BRANCH OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, WHOSE SYMBOL OF FAITH IS THE APOSTOLIC, EASTERN CONFESSION, AND WHOSE ORDERS THROUGH EPISCOPAL SUCCESSION ARE DERIVED FROM THE ANCIENT EASTERN EPISCOPATE WHICH IS TRACED BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE CHURCH OF THE EAST AND TO THE APOSTLES AND TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.” (RT. REVD. ARTHUR WOLFORT BROOKS (1889-1948), FOUNDER, APOSTOLIC EPISCOPAL CHURCH)

THE SECOND BRANCH IS THE ORDER OF FRANCISCANS OF THE EUCHARIST SECULAR (O.F.E.S.) IS COMPRISED OF ROMAN CATHOLIC LAY PEOPLE IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND WIVES OF MARRIED ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS. O.F.E.S.
