In an Appendix to his book The Bishopric - a handbook on creating episcopacy in the African-American Pentecostal Church, Bishop Ellis claims both western and eastern streams of "apostolic succession" for himself and for United Pentecostal Churches of Christ, as summarised below.
•
The Bishops Praaxky held episcopal office in the Slaavic Orthodox Church, and Bishop Gaines's succession derives from Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox churches, as well as via Ulric Vernon Herford (Mar Jacobus)(consecrated 1902), William Stanley McBean Knight (Mar Paulos)(consecrated 1925), Hugh George de Willmott Newman (Mar Georgius) (consecrated 1931), Charles D. Boltwood (consecrated 1952), and John Marion Stanley (Mar Yokohannan) (consecrated 1959).

In October 2013, when the Apostolic Pastoral Congress (a United Kingdom based organization) elevated its presiding prelate to the status of archbishop, J Delano Ellis provided a "Consecration Mandate" and he sent an episcopal delegation (comprising Bishop Darryl Woodson and Bishop Benjamin Douglass) to London, England where they took the principal part in the ceremony at Southwark Cathedral elevating the Congress's presiding prelate Doye Agama.
