Description of Ministry & Our Heritage</h3>
We are an open,inclusive,and affirming community who accepts all of God's children at the table of brotherhood. An emphasis,in the Ordo Arcanorum Gradalis is palced on the study of Celtic Christianity; Celtic Christian Prayers and Blessings; and the Celtic Saints.
We hold, as essential to Orthodox Catholic Tradition, belief in the tenents of the faith as expressed in the Nicene and Apostles Creeds, the teachings of the Ecumenical Councils of the Undivided Church, the effiacy of the seven sacraments of the Church, the sufficiency of Sacred Scripture interpreted by tradition, scholarship and reason, and the principle of Apostolic Succession as the means of transmutting the historic ministries of deacon, priest(presbyter) and bishop. We hold to the acient principle of the collegiality of bishops and recognize the special positon of the Bishop of Rome as "first among equals" with all other bishops, holding primacy of honor, but not primacy of jurisdiction over the entire Church.
<br><br><hr><h3>
