College of Levantine Churches: Difference between revisions

The College of Levantine Churches has established, within its ecclesiology, the concept of "partial communion". Churches in partial communion with the College of Levantine Churches are recognized as having "valid historic episcopacy and clerical ordination" and whose theology "is substantially similar" to that of the College, even if it possesses "specific cultural or traditional methods of exploring and explaining theological concepts", meaning that the church in question largely teaches the same doctrine with some minor differences in expression. These differences in expression may prevent full communion, but partial communion churches are viewed, nonetheless, to have some share in the role of the {{wp|Church visible}}.

===Partners in the Church Invisible===

Partners in the Church Invisible (commonly referred to as "PCIs") are Christian Churches with whom the College does not share communion, but nonetheless recognizes as having some valid {{wp|Apostolic succession}} as well as legitimate exercise of the Christian ministry and sacraments. The primary organization falling under the status of PCI is the [[Catholic Church]], though recognition was extended to the [[Imperial Church]] during its existence and, controversially, the [[Democratic Christian Church of Corumm and the East]].
