Book excerpt: In this book Rob Angus Jones takes an honest look at "the bogeyman of validity"-the central question of the authenticity of ISM episcopacy and ISM communities. Jones brings welcome new insight as he untangles the three critical issues that historically have been lumped into this "validity" conversation, reflecting on each issue in turn: the validity of ISM ordinations (the ability to be bishops); the commissioning of ISM leadership (the authority to be bishops); and the phenomena of post-ordination episcopal consecrations and the gifts of lineages of tradition they convey. With this book Jones hopes to spark a new conversation within the ISM and with other Christians about what it means to be Independent Sacramental Christians, cherishing our rich heritage while remaining open to the leadings of the Holy Spirit for a new day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the sacramental, independent denominations of the Catholic Church and their adherents, which long for the sacraments but have been alienated by intransigent dogma and cookie-cutter churches. Each offers hope and worship, not for a "melting pot" of mass-market religion, but for those who hold fast to their individuality.

Book excerpt: Here's the newest revised and expanded edition of Bishop Karl Pruter's standard guide to the independent Anglican, Catholic, and Orthodox Bishops located in North America. These episcopi vagantes owe allegiance to no major church body, but, in the best tradition of the early apostles, have either established small independent parishes to serve the faithful, or wander from place to place preaching the Christian gospel. The Directory is arranged alphabetically by surname or religious name, with complete addresses. All scholars of the independent Catholic and Orthodox churches will welcome Bishop Karl's newest edition to the growing literature on autocephaly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An excellent study of churches on the fringe that incubate new ideas and shed new light on mainstream religion.”—Times Higher Education Independent Catholics are not formally connected to the pope in Rome. They practice apostolic succession, seven sacraments, and devotion to the saints. But without a pope, they can change quickly and experiment freely—with some affirming communion for the divorced, women’s ordination, clerical marriage, and same-sex marriage. From their early modern origins in the Netherlands to their contemporary proliferation in the United States, these “other Catholics” represent an unusually liberal, mobile, and creative version of America’s largest religion. In The Other Catholics, Julie Byrne shares the remarkable history and current activity of independent Catholics, who number at least two hundred communities and a million members across the United States. She focuses in particular on the Church of Antioch, one of the first Catholic groups to ordain women in modern times. Through archival documents and interviews, Byrne tells the story of the unforgettable leaders and surprising influence of these understudied churches, which, when included in Catholic history, change the narrative arc and total shape of modern Catholicism. As Pope Francis fights to soften Roman doctrines with a pastoral touch and his fellow Roman bishops push back with equal passion, independent Catholics continue to leap ahead of Roman reform, keeping key Catholic traditions but adding a progressive difference. “Byrne’s enlightening research and analysis will undoubtedly raise awareness of these little-known Catholic denominations.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Bible, Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" and with undeniable passion, Bishop Peter Hickman resonates the grace of God as he preaches under the anointing of The Holy Spirit. Having studied at the Melodyland School of Ministry and Fuller Theological Seminary in California, Bishop Peter has been the pastor of Saint Matthew Ecumenical Catholic Church for over 28 years. He also is the presiding international bishop of the Ecumenical Catholic Church Community, which is the nation's largest coalition of independent Catholic Churches. Besides offering the same sacraments as the Roman Catholic Church, his ecumenical ministry is clearly impacting lives around the world, regardless of race, creed, color, gender or any denominational differences or religious background. Fueled by faith in Jesus Christ Bishop Peter recognizes that all are welcome at the table of The Lord, which is a paramount foundation of his ministry.
