Independent Roman Catholicism?

Posted on January 1, 2016Author The Right Rev. Jerry BrohlPosted in Guest Writer, V4 N1 20162 Replies

I’ve heard it said a zillion times: Impossible! No such thing! Can’t be! A contradiction in terms! You’re delusional! I am a cradle Roman Catholic. My childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood was filled with active and enthusiastic Roman Catholicism both on my part and that of my family. For 10 years, I worked as a…

A lot has been talked about over the years of churches being missional. The question arises, “What do we do?”, “How can we be missional?” I would like to offer a suggestion on how to be missional that can involve many faith-filled believers with a heart to make a difference in their communities.

The following is a letter written by the Right Rev. Gregory Godsey on behalf of the College of Bishops and Vicars for the International Old Catholic Churches concerning the Syrian Refugee Crisis.
