To be an evangelical orthodox Christian means to embrace the ecumenical (whole) nature of the Church. It is a call to share the good news of the Kingdom, to be concerned about people who have yet to come to know Christ in the true way God has revealed in His Son, by the Holy Spirit as testified in and through Holy Tradition and Scripture. To be evangelical and orthodox Christian is to accept the historical faith as it is handed down by faithful Christian witnesses and to apply the current discernment God provided by His Holy Spirit in the Church today. It means to accept the Holy Spirit as the leader of the Church and to emphasize a Christological and Pneumatological ecclesiology. It is a call to retain the Tradition of the Church while discerning its traditions, laying hold of a living Tradition. It is a call to a personal living relationship with Jesus Christ and to a communal fellowship with the saints throughout the ages. It is to accept that the apostolic faith comes from God in the present moment as well as a testimony from that past and that a succession of faith is not just given exclusively through a historical lineage but also as a current encounter with the Holy Spirit. An evangelical orthodox Christian seeks the united expression of the One Church, one example being the practice of Eucharistic Hospitality in spirit and truth in the liturgy.
