An
Old Catholic Community
|
St.
Thomas belongs to
a growing communion of Old Catholic Churches
that believe and practice the Apostolic, Orthodox Catholic
faith of the ancient, undivided Church. 
It
has the same heritage as
- the
Eastern Catholic Churches (Eastern Orthodox)
and
- the
Western Catholic Church (Roman Catholic)
but
it is ecumenical in that it believes in
working closely with all Christians to put Christ Jesus
back into the ailing society of our modern world. |
