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.

Novena to Mary, The Undoer of Knots 2020

: Written by Gerry Proctor; Published: 19 September 2020

The Feast Day of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots (Pope Francis’s favourite devotion to Mary) falls on Monday 28th September and a Novena to celebrate it would begin tonight or tomorrow ending on 27th or 28th depending on when you start.

I have written this novena so that it is an open Christian experience of 9 days of prayer and the version attached is being revised continually by those using it.
