Officers of the Communion

The slate of officers of the Communion will consist of three limited-term executive positions, elected from the general membership. They are a President who will also serve as the group's Presiding Bishop; a Vice-President and a Secretary.

The Counsel of Bishops shall meet at least annually at the Presiding bishop's Diocese. The term of office for the Presiding Bishop or "President" shall be one year, the Presiding Bishop Elect shall serve as "Vice President" and the "Secretary' to the College of Bishops will also be elected annually.

The national synod shall elect the President of the College of Bishops, the Vice President of the College of Bishops and the Secretary of the college of bishops. Each of these officers will serve a limited term of one year. Together, these three (President, Vice President and Secretary) will comprise the organization's ACIC Executive Advisory Committee. In addition to these officers, the various member jurisdictions may elect two delegates to the National Church, which should meet every third year at the time of the stated annual synod meeting of the College of Bishops.

The President of the College of Bishops of ACIC shall have no authority from his position, except that of moral and spiritual influence he may exercise. Jurisdictions may request bishops of ACIC to serve on the Church Courts within their diocese.

If, in the opinion of 75% of the members of the College of Bishops, a diocese has become apostate that diocese shall be removed and its apostate bishop shall be removed from the ACIC and from membership in the College of Bishops.

1- Leadership time should be limited to prevent anyone assuming the office of the Presiding Bishop for life. The Presiding Bishop will hold office for only a year. Yet it does not prevent a Bishop to be Primus of their own jurisdiction according to their own jurisdictional tradition.

2- Bishops will not have to contribute any money to the Presiding Bishop or any other Bishop. The Presiding Bishop will use his own resources.

3- Bishop's will not covet clergy or sheep of each other, nor trample over each other's jurisdiction. If such charges are brought against a bishop, ACIC Executive Council (President, Vice and Secretary) will convene a court of more than 50% of the ACIC bishops to reach a decision.

4- Each participating Bishop will remain independent, following high-church or low-church
Worship service according to their own jurisdictional traditions.

Alterations and additions to this document may be made by a three-fourths vote of the College of Bishops, and of the elected clergy and lay delegates to a national synod of this Church.
