Please welcome +Fredrick Fick. 

Here is a paragraph from the ++Grundorf's recent
epistle (posted on the APA Website), which will have
to serve as an introduction to Bishop Fick.  

Also, in the next post is an article Bishop Fick
circulated to the Diocese of St. Augustine.

========================
From The Bishop's Epistle

"Bringing together the faithful…” 

At the end of January, I was invited to attend a
meeting of clergy and laity of the Communion of Christ
the Redeemer (CCR) in Ocean City, Maryland. The CCR
were formerly part of the Charismatic Episcopal Church
from which they have departed. This Meeting was hosted
by their Diocese of Delmarva and Bishop Richard Lipka.
One of the member bishops of CCR, the Rt. Rev. Fred
Fick had previously requested reception of his
churches and himself in our Diocese of St. Augustine
under Bishop Larry Shaver. I invited Bishop Shaver and
Archdeacon, Erich Zwingert as our Canonist to attend
along with me. We were treated graciously by this
wonderful body of Christians, who wish to be Classical
Anglicans. We spent the better part of three days with
them getting to know the people and during the plenary
sessions, answering a series of printed questions.
After we left the Meeting, the people had a positive
discussion and wish to continue the process hopefully
establishing an official intercommunion statement. We
praise and thank God for bringing us together with
these faithful people who want to be a part of a
church that has a strong catholic faith and order in
the Anglican Tradition. "
