ICCEC Establishment: 1992-1994
1992: On June 26, Randolph Adler is consecrated a bishop by Bishop Timothy Barker of the International Free Catholic Communion.
The Charismatic Episcopal Church of North America (CEC) is formed with four congregations, including St. Michael's Pro-Cathedral. Bishop Adler is designated Primate.
1993: Dale Howard, an Episcopal priest, is consecrated bishop for Jacksonville, Florida. The consecration is performed by Bishop William Millsaps of the Episcopal Missionary Church. Bishop Millsaps, who has Anglican apostolic succession, also re-consecrates Bishops Adler and Sly, in order to strengthen the validity of the CEC's apostolic succession.
1994: The CEC holds its first national convocation in Kansas City in April, attended by 300 people.
Loren Thomas Hines is ordained to the priesthood and soon consecrated bishop in Manila, the Philippines. Hines was founder and leader Christian Life Fellowship International. The CLFI churches become parishes of the CEC, and Hines' CLF congregation in Manila is renamed Cathedral of the King. Hines becomes head of the Diocese of Southeast Asia.
Malcolm Smith is ordained to the priesthood, and consecrated bishop soon afterwards in San Antonio, Texas. Smith is a renowned teacher with a large following in charismatic churches, with his message of God's grace and "covenant love." Many Smith followers around the country start making inquiry into the CEC after hearing of his consecration.
