MISSION statement:

We are a group of Catholics, some of whom are ordained, brought together by our love of Christ's Church and our anxiety about its future. Still inspired by the Second Vatican Council, we want to contribute fully to the life of our Church so that we may be a more effective sign of the Kingdom of God. To do this, we believe that an atmosphere of openness and dialogue both with each other and with our church leadership needs developing. Accordingly, we aim to supply channels of free and frank communication. We desire to help create a climate of trust and respect for all where this dialogue may be fostered.

THEOLOGY statement:

ACTA is a movement built from below by clergy and laity alike in every diocese in England and Wales. It exists to give those people an effective voice. It is an instrument to establish and promote space for a trusting dialogue within a hierarchically structured people’s Church.
 
ACTA believes that the reforms of the Second Vatican Council are the only way forward for mission to modern society. It is not a small chapel of selected followers; it believes in the Church as a “big tent”, with open doors. As a free and representative association of believers, it seeks to liberate the expertise in the ranks, so as to bring added energy and witness to the Church in the world.

CRIBBING FOR CHRISTMAS AND BEYOND

Christmas Crib

We must fight to keep open our church doors. But we must be sure which church doors to keep open in these darkest of days. The church is never a place. In its formative days, those frightened people hidden away with Mary in an upper room, were the church, charged by the Holy Spirit to take to the streets. They were inspired to embrace the opportunities and dangers of telling the story where the people were. They were empowered to proclaim “a man crucified and killed”, a man “attested by God”, a man “God raised up”. The story was first told, not in church nor from pulpits. It was told at the corners of busy Jerusalem streets.
The language of the Crib is a story that must be told amidst the noise of the narrative of commerce. The Crib must be allowed to witness where a thousand witnesses to naked commerce and mindless extravagance stand in gaudy array.

Christmas Postage Stamps

Why not try and keep Christ in Christmas this year by ordering your stamps now. There is no guarantee that your local post office will have these special Christmas stamps. You can also use your local scout troops to hand deliver your Christmas cards for you - subject to Covid Rules. Obviously you can choose not to send cards and send the money to charity instead.
