The Rumney Marsh Diocese shares a
A
Covenant of Full Communion
with the Independent Catholic Christian Church.
In the above photo, our friend Sandra Hutchinson is
admitted as a Cleric in the Independent Catholic Christian Church by Bishop Tim Cravens.
The Independent Catholic Christian
Church is a small independent sacramental jurisdiction to whom God has entrusted a treasure of things new and old.
The Independent Catholic Christian Church believes the historic Christian doctrines as found in the
Nicene Creed, placing special emphasis on the incarnation of Jesus Christ as fully God and fully human and His salvation of
humankind through His death and resurrection. We observe the seven sacraments and hold valid apostolic succession through
a number of lines.
The Independent Catholic Christian Church is very strongly committed to the
full inclusion of women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people within the life of the church. We ordain women
and lgbt persons to ALL orders of ministry -- bishop, priest, and deacon. We also celebrate the marriages of ALL couples
that make a lifelong covenant of commitment to one another -- regardless of whether the couple consists of a man and a woman,
two men, two women, or two persons including one or both who are transgendered.
