What is The Anglican Catholic Apostolic Church?
The Anglican Catholic Apostolic Church (ACAC) teaches the Catholic Faith which was brought to the British Isles by the first apostolic missionaries during the earliest days of the Church. It is a part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church through which the Grace of God is channelled by way of a Ministry entrusted to the Apostles (and their successors) by Christ himself.
The Seven Œcumenical Councils of the Universal and Undivided Church together with Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition contain the Standards and Doctrines of faith taught by the ACAC.
We acknowledge the historic primacy of the Bishop of Rome as primus inter pares (first among equals) but reject the papal claims of supremacy and other dogmas and pronouncements that are at variance with Scripture and the Tradition of the ancient Church.
We affirm our faith in the Essence and Mystery of the Holy Eucharist and believe that the Mass is a sacrifice which is propitious for the living and the dead. In Holy Communion the faithful partake of the true Body and Blood of Christ under the mystical forms of bread and wine.
The ACAC will strive to help overcome divisions in the Church and based on the faith of the Undivided Church of the first millennium, restore unity and communion with other Churches.
The Anglican Catholic Apostolic Church is truly Anglican within Catholic Orthodoxy.
