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.

PayPal Charity Account Approved !

Great news! The Trustees are happy to announce:

A Call To Action (ACTA), our charitable PayPal status has been confirmed.

This means we get a reduced rate of 1.4% + 20p on online transactions.  (The fees we were paying before charity account approval were 2.9% + £0.30)

As a confirmed charity, we have now qualified for the PayPal Giving Fund. This public charity and donor-advised fund can accept donations recommended for your charity from 100+ million donors on PayPal, GoFundMe, eBay, and more. PayPal Giving Fund typically then grants the recommended donations to your charity through payments to your PayPal account. 

Best of all, PayPal Giving Fund charges no fees. (Some of PayPal Giving Fund's ecommerce partners may charge fees to donors, which they will disclose on their websites).

So rest assured whenever you donate to ACTA you are increasing the amount you give because of the reduced charity rates. If you are able to give using Gift Aid, we will receive even more money as a result. 

Our PayPal email address for donations is donate@acalltoaction.org.uk
