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.

Dairmuid O’Murchu

“Diarmuid O'Murchu is a spiritual genius." -- Richard Rohr,

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Dairmuid O’Murchu in Manchester this October at the ACTA National Conference.   Dairmuid’s books and writings are very well known, but the chance to spend the day with him in England is rare. We all know how the spirituality of vast numbers of Christians (and non-Christians) has been enriched by the flowering of interest in meditation and contemplation in recent years. One of the foremost teachers and practitioners in that movement is Richard Rohr, whose Centre for Action and Contemplation in New Mexico in the USA is world famous. Rohr is a Franciscan priest with an immense online following around the world.

So now try googling Richard Rohr and Dairmuid O’Murchu!  You’ll find how intergral to Rohr’s practice and thinking are the teachings of Dairmuid O’Murchu.

“Diarmuid O'Murchu is a spiritual genius." -- Richard Rohr, author, The Naked Now.

"A truly powerful read. O'Murchu does not flinch from speaking his truth with clarity and forthrightness backed by excellent and extensive research." -- Barbara Fiand, author, In the Stillness You Will Know.

So book now to hear Dairmuid O’Murchu. He’ll be speaking in the morning and the afternoon sessions of our conference. There will be opportunities for discussion and for Q&A’s. It will be a great day in Manchester. Why not book your train early – early bird discount and cheaper travel.  There’s good access by public transport to the King’s House in Sydney Street.
