Evangelical Catholic
The term Evangelical Catholic is used by Christian believers who consider themselves both "catholic" and "evangelical." Evangelical Catholic (catholic is the noun with evangelical modifying) can refer to: evangelical Protestant Christians who consider themselves catholic Christians identifed with the historic Christian Church, who believe that the early ecumenical councils and the Protestant Reformation were both part of the progressive illumination of the Holy SpiritRoman Catholics who want to identify themselves more closely with evangelical Protestants with similar ecumenical ideals and "progressive illumination"; Catholics who simply want to define themselves according to a penchant for evangelism. Evangelical Catholics may include Eastern Rite Catholic Churches or other churches that are not Roman Catholic, such as AnglicanReformedBaptist, or Pentecostal. Similarly but more specifically, Catholic Evangelical (evangelical is the noun with catholic modifying) refers to those evangelical Protestant Christians who desire to be understood as identifying themselves with the historic Christian Church. It is also often used to describe individuals, groups, congregations, or denominations that specifically wish to express an ecumenical perspective on Christians worldwide, the historic Church, or liturgical preferences.
