Welcome
Welcome to the Province of Great Britain and Ireland of the Liberal Catholic Church International.
The Liberal Catholic Movement exists to forward the work of her Master, Jesus Christ, in the world and to feed His flock.
It is an independent and autonomous movement, in no way dependent upon the See of Rome, or upon any other see or authority outside its own administration. It is neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant, but Catholic.
The Churches are called Liberal Catholic because their outlook is both liberal and Catholic. Catholic means universal, but it has come to stand for the outlook and practice of the historical church as distinct from that of the later sects.
The Liberal Catholic Movement allies itself with this historical tradition. It combines the Catholic form of worship - its stately ritual, its deep mysticism, and its abiding witness to the reality of sacramental grace - with the widest measure of intellectual liberty and respect for the individual conscience.
The Liberal Catholic Church came into existence as the result of a complete reorganization in 1915-16 of the Old Catholic movement in Great Britain upon a more liberal basis. This Church derived its Orders from the Mother-See of the Old Catholic movement, the ancient archiepiscopal see of Utrecht in Holland.
