I browed through this for a few minutes. It seems like a nice little summary article of the COE view of sacraments and theology, which is worth looking at because it is both familiar and different than Traditions most people know from the Latins and Greeks.

(Back in the early 2000s I was in a group that had Apostolic lines from the Assyrian Church of the East, and used an English translation of the Liturgy of the Holy Apostles, Addai and Mari).

“The Apostolic Tradition exists and lives in the present, as well as in the past; it is what we may call charismatic, and it has to do with the spirit and ethos of the Church, rather than just what happened in the Church’s past, 2,000 years ago. It is, in a word, a living experience which began with the blessed apostles of Christ at the Pentecost and which continues to live in the Church down these 21 centuries, and will continue until the Second Coming of Christ. Specifically, the Apostolic Tradition refers only to those elements which concern the faith and salvation of humanity, and have come to us from Jesus Christ and his apostles.” (Royel, Mysteries of the Kingdom. p.4)
