Father Abbot William
We stand firm in our Apostolic Succession. But above all we are Christians standing for the Glory of God!
We look to renew out relationship with all those of Catholic faith.
At this time we have no formal relationship with Rome although we have the deepest respect and honor for the Holy See. We have co-celebrated or assisted Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican and Methodist Churches.
