History
CCI was established in September 2005 as the result of a merger of Province USA of the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches (CEEC) and the International Communion of Christian Churches (ICCC). In October 2007, the name Christian Communion International was chosen by the House of Bishops as the universal identity of the communion and Archbishop Daniel W. Williams was elected as their founding primate. Archbishop Quintin Moore was elected Presiding Bishop in 2010. The Christian Communion International is in full communion and is a constituent part of the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches and functions as a "communion within a communion," sharing the same doctrine and commitment to unity and mission as the CEEC, with each retaining their own liturgy, theology, spirituality, discipline and hierarchy of jurisdiction.
