MISSION statement: Revised 2026

We are a group of Catholics, some of whom are ordained, brought together by our love of Christ’s Church and a desire to be part of the synodal renewal it needs.
 
Inspired by the legacy of the Second Vatican Council, and the call to Synodality for the Church of the third millennium, we want to contribute fully to the life of our Church so that it may be a more effective and inclusive sign of the Kingdom of God.
 
To enable this, we wish to promote listening, dialogue and receptivity within the Church, and with all people of good will, open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
 
Accordingly, we aim to facilitate opportunities to share experiences, practices and insights to discern our hopes and aims for the Church in the world today.

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.

School for Synodality

School for Synodality Retreat

Written by: Alex Walker
Published: 14 May 2026

What would it be like to experience ourselves as 'Beloved' of God?

If we asked you what were the turning points of your life, you might say a job interview, or falling in love. But what about your baptism? 

Most of us don't give a lot of thought to our baptism. it sits somewhere in the back of our consciousness. Perhaps we were babies, so we don't remember it, or were adults and it felt much more significant. But our baptism can sit behind all the busyness and events of life.
 
In the Gospel of Luke, during Jesus' baptism God spoke from heaven: "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”

This calls to Jesus' attention his deepest identity as a Beloved Son and from then on his mission, drawing us into that same relationship. Through the gift of our baptism, God makes us his beloved sons and daughters. The challenge is to let that truth resonate within us, amid all the hustle of life.

We invite you to rediscover the joy of knowing ourselves beloved by God, unpacking that gift with inspirational Catholic speaker, David Wells, and a mixture of personal reflection and the opportunity to share prayerfully with others. 

This beautiful opportunity is for anyone who feels drawn to reflect on their relationship to God and our beloved nature - no previous knowledge or reading necessary. Just bring yourself!

Date: Saturday 27 June 2026
Time: 12 noon - 4pm BST (GMT + 1) 
Venue: On Zoom
