Convergence

Convergence, as the second dynamic of our charism related to our primary discipline of assembling, authorizes us to assemble. Convergence is a movement of the Holy Spirit in the Church that began in the latter part of the 20th century that is a coming together of the liturgical and sacramental, Evangelical and Reformed, and Orthodox and charismatic expressions of the Church. This is resulting in existing expressions of the Church that may have narrowly or exclusively identified with one of these three streams being open to more holistically integrate the other two. In other cases, as with Communio Christiana, the Convergence Movement has propelled new and fresh expressions of the Church into existence that operate as communions in unity with the whole Church in contrast to the divisiveness created by the spirit of denominationalism.
