If Pope Francis and Billy Graham had a baby, the Ecumenical Catholic Communion (ECC) would be their love-child. Picture all the bells and whistles of a High Church service merged with the down-to-earth sincerity and casualness of your typical evangelical worship service.
The Rev. Tom Altepeter of St. Clare Ecumenical Catholic Community, a church he once described as a "a homeless shelter for homeless Catholics," was selected as the first bishop-elect for the region on Sept. 28 and will be the sixth regional bishop in the ECC.
St. Clare Ecumenical Catholic Community will now hold its weekly Sunday morning services at 3102 W. Ft. George Wright Drive. The Rev. Tom Altepeter said the move was made to accommodate continued growth.
