Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu
Christi
Primatial
jurisdiction and sacramental ministry extends only within the confines of the
British Isles, save for those honorary priests appointed on behalf of the Sacerdotal Society of the Precious Blood whose unique
mission is global. Many enquiries are received from laity seeking ordination
and bishops requesting consecration sub conditione in lands far beyond
Great Britain. Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu Christi does not
receive men into sacred orders who are not resident in its jurisdiction, nor
does it engage in re-ordaining and/or consecrating sub conditione those
in other jurisdictions. Its Rite is entirely Catholic, yet independent of the
Roman Catholic Church from where its Apostolic Succession, via the Old Catholic Church, originates. The Foundation Head and
Supreme Pastor of Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu Christi is the Lord
Jesus Christ Himself. We know what God has revealed by the teaching and
authority of His Holy Church which was given divine authority by Our Lord Jesus
Christ. The chief matters that God has revealed are contained in the statement
of the Christian Faith known as the Apostles Creed:
I believe in God, the
Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only
Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended
to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into Heaven, and is
seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come to judge the living and
the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion
of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.
