As an independent Catholic institution we derive our theological, ecclesial, liturgical and canonical understanding of ourselves from the larger Catholic tradition remaining part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church with theological and pastoral praxis found in the Old Catholic Churches and Independent Sacramental Movement. We are formed by Decree of the Governing Council, who have established an Apostolic Constitution and Canons.
