The church is a 'family' and families have family
trees. The Old Catholic Apostolic Church is a
significant branch of the church that derived from
the Roman Catholics who separated to form the
'Old Catholics of Utrecht'. Many of their
successors embraced a liberality and openess
which was successful in creating the 'Liberal
Catholic' churches. Our church is related to them
all through our 'family tree' and the coming
together of Liberal Catholic, Old Catholic and
apostolic churches which led to the OCAC of
today.
We are a small church yet have a prescence on
every continent of the world. It is not our task to
be a smaller version of any other church: we
have a distinct role to play, in our own right. This
means that we work with and alongside all other
churches and we share with them Christ's work.
It also means that there are spiritual areas where
we are better placed than other churches to act,
and we rejoice that God gives us the priviledge to
do so. Every single one of our people has an
active expression of ministry, of serving. We are
a sacramental church, celebrating in each of our
chapels and oratories regularly; but we do this so
that Christ's power can be brought through each
of our people into the active serving they do:
Street Pastors, Chaplains, Christian Broadcasters,
Preaching, Visiting and so on. Some have
criticised us because our congregation numbers
are low. They miss the point: it is our active
expression of ministry which matters...not how
many listen to a sermon: we are all servants....
The Old Catholic Apostolic Church is non-
dogmatic in nature, traditional yet relevant for
today, and is open to the insights of all faiths and
philosophies. Open to everyone, of all sexualities
and none, this openness means that the OCAC
has a unique spiritual character and appeal, and
that its mission reaches beyond conventional
boundaries to embrace a genuine universality.
We see our work as firmly grounded in the wish
of Jesus Christ that His church strive to attain
unity in the face of its differences, and so
conceive the OCAC as a primarily ecumenical
mission church. Located opposite fayose market Ado Ekiti....

Schismatic church. No Catholic should go there or risk losing his or her faith. If it is not panadol, it can never be like panadol. 3 Likes |

TLisieux:They broke away after Vatican 1 over the dogma of papal infallibility. Now outside the Barque of St Peter they bless homosexual "marriages", have women priests and openly gay priests. They accept abortion and contraception. That is, they are not only schismatics but also heretics since they accepted all these modernistic pagan ideas. 2 Likes |
