"This

is an extremely significant event," Epps said."

These men, all of whom are seasoned veterans in the

church, will be ordained in historic apostolic

succession. That is, they can trace their line of

authority all the way back to one or more of the apostles

who laid hands on and ordained successors, who did the

same, and so on until the present day."

"The

Charismatic Episcopal Church traces its line of

succession through the Apostolic Catholic Church of

Brazil, then through the Roman Catholic Church, all the

way back to the beginning," Epps said.

The service

will be a "praise and worship celebration,"

according to Epps, which will feature the historic

ordination liturgy, the Eucharist, and "joyful music

and prophetic expressions". The service is open to

the public.
