LCAC Announcements
The
Liberal Catholic Apostolic Church is pleased to announce the election
of Vicar General The Very Revd. Mhoira Lauer-Patterson to the
Episcopate. The protocol of election was read during worship at St
Christophers, Thurcroft, Yorkshire. Monsignora Mhoira will be
consecrated during the synod in September.
The Liberal
Catholic Apostolic Church is pleased to announce that Revd. Barry
Frier, pastor of St Christophers and member of Cross Denominational
Missions pastoral team received the catholic minor orders from the
Vicar General and the sub-diaconate from the Presiding Bishop on Sunday
3rd April at St Christophers, Thurcroft. Barry will continue to serve
St Christophers as pastor but will simultaneously progress into Holy
Orders.
The Liberal Catholic Apostolic Church is pleased to
announce that the church will embrace the diocesan structure. This
change will happen gradually in the next few months with the process
being completed by ceremony at this years synod in Swindon on September
17 & 18. LCAC will have areas of responsibility resting in the
dioceses, but will not limit clergy authority to certain areas. We will
not for example follow the Church of England policy of licencing
priests to a parish area. An LCAC priest is a priest wherever he or she
goes.
The Liberal Catholic Apostolic Church is pleased to
announce the motto 'Ancient in Faith, Modern in Vision' will be used by
LCAC. Benedictus Fellowship have used this for a while and as it sums
up our spiritual heritage combined with our up-to-date outlook we
compliment them by using it too.
