THE ORDER OF FRANCISCANS OF THE EUCHARIST IS AN EASTERN AND ROMAN CATHOLIC FRANCISCAN RELIGIOUS ORDER, AN INTERNATIONAL ORDINARIATE. WE BOLDLY PROCLAIM OUR EASTERN AND ROMAN CATHOLIC IDENTITY. AS AN EASTERN RELIGIOUS ORDER, WE PROFESS TO BE A BRANCH OF THE EASTERN CHURCH AND, THEREFORE, A VALID BRANCH OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH.

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)
