We Are Not Able to Proceed at This Time

Thank you for taking the time to complete this enquiry form.

Based on the responses provided, the Apostolic Old Catholic Mission is not able to proceed with your enquiry for formation, incardination, licensing, or authorised ministry at this time.

This does not mean that you have no calling, no value, or no place in the wider life of the Church. It simply means that, according to the requirements and safeguards of the Mission, your responses indicate that this pathway is not suitable at present.

Formation and incardination within the Mission require readiness, maturity, theological compatibility, safeguarding awareness, accountability, reliable documentation, and a willingness to serve within the discipline and ethos of the Apostolic Old Catholic Mission.

Honesty and integrity are essential in any process of discernment. Please do not complete the form again simply in order to change or adjust your answers until the form allows you to proceed. The purpose of the form is not to be passed, but to help the Mission discern whether this pathway is appropriate, safe, and responsible at this time.

In some cases, a person may not yet meet the minimum requirements. In other cases, the concern may relate to safeguarding, documentation, language ability, computer literacy, expectations around ordination, financial readiness, ecclesial compatibility, or willingness to comply with the Mission’s Code of Conduct and Clergy Covenant.

For that reason, we are not inviting you to continue with the next stage of the process at this time.

Please do not complete the form again unless your circumstances have genuinely changed in a material way.

If you believe there has been a serious error, you may contact us at hello@apostolicoldcatholic.org. Please note that submitting an enquiry does not create a right to formation, ordination, incardination, licensing, or ministry within the Mission.

We pray that God will guide you faithfully into the place where you may serve with integrity, humility, and peace.
