We are part of the Anglican Free Communion an organization of Anglican churches based out of London, England that was founded in 1897. The main distinction of the AFC is that unlike the Anglican Communion we are welcoming and inclusive communion of churches in the Anglican tradition.

ON CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS: By Archbishop Rafael Seijo
Creation and Immortality are the two most important assets that are inherited by the human being at the time of this consciousness realization. It is a fact that if we don’t accept this premise we are accepting that we are not eternal and not capable of creating anything. Because of this belief we have to endure the most difficult moments in our lives to make possible our spiritual, emotional, physical and economical needs. We have devoted ourselves to being second class sons of The Creator, thus placing ourselves, in a disadvantaged position in relation to what we can achieve in our lives. We are capable of many things that seem impossible or that we consider miraculous. Because of this we can state, “We are prisoners not of what we think but of how we think”. Also we have to look very closely at our Values System, that is, how we decide to behave and act in our lives. Ex: If we have a hostile attitude vs. a peaceful one. The Values System we live by, is our creation and our choice. So it can be changed. We have to look closely at our ways of reacting. Do we react emotionally, mentally or willfully? This is very important, because it can either put us in trouble with our relationships and life goals, or be the opener for many opportunities and achievements. Just one more thing if we know and believe that we are God's creation, that we are souls from the divine, going through a human experience.
