The Ecumenical Community Church+Catholic©

The warmest of welcomes from everyone within the ECC+C to you. We are an ecumenical, people-orientated Community Church which oversees its charitable projects, religious orders, faith organisations and pastoral communities in Britain. A religious revolution in the 1960's, born out of the wisdom of the Old Catholic Church, created a spiritual resurgance that moved towards the Autocephalous Movement of Churches of the Apostolic Succession. We are the generation after, a new group of Catholics and Anglo-Catholics who have actively sought a spiritual experience based on original, pure and truthful Christian (Catholic) love within a structured ecumenical framework - but a structure which is not associated with the 'establishment.'

If you are seeking an all-embracing Christian understanding of humanity within a changing society and feel let down by existing religious institutions, then please learn a little more about us because as a group of clergy so were we! The ethos of the ECC+C is about love, advocacy and support; compassion, dignity and empathy for all God's Kingdom. We see Christian love as the ultimate manifestation of the Holy Spirit and the Redemptive Life of Christ. We are Ecumenical Anglican Catholics, keen to return to the original spirit of Universal Catholicism. Ecumenical Catholicism is one of the fastest growing identities in the Christian Church, blending together people from many different denominations and so you can find an increasing number of Ecumenical Catholic Churches around the world. The ECC+C combines the original and pre-Roman Christian-Catholic faith with outstretched arms towards every other denomination.

The focus of the ECC+C is the Word of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

The ECC+C has a strong Franciscan ethos and charism perfectly placed to carry on the command given to Francis by Christ to 'rebuild my church which has fallen into ruins.' If we rely only on mainstream Churches to take Christ's Message into the next generation, people are going to forget Him, completely. People already view Christianity as not just irrelevant to their lives - but meaningless. They must be allowed to choose what feels right in their hearts when it comes to their expression of faith. Christianity should just be Christianity but when human beings are given power and combine that with personal opinion, they don't know how to be that simple, do they? Living in an increasingly secular world it should be celebrated when any person wanting to access God actually finds Him irrespective of where.
