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.

Taking Liturgy Seriously - Online Course

Written by: Alex Walker
Published: 25 December 2024

In January 2025, the Society of St Gregory begins the third Taking Liturgy Seriously online course.

This year, the focus will be on liturgical spirituality, taking its inspiration from Pope Francis’ letter on liturgical formation, Desiderio Desideravi: “‘I would like this letter to help us to rekindle our wonder for the beauty of the truth of the Christian celebration.” (n.62)

The aim of the course is to enable personal reflection on what it means to be a member of the worshipping community, how others are worshipping with you, and how ministering in all its forms is a part of our own worship and prayer. It will develop a clear understanding of how the Church’s liturgy expresses her theology and spirituality.

The course will run online (Zoom) and comprise six modules of three consecutive Thursday evenings from January to November 2025 at 7.30 to 8.45pm.

In the past, a recording of each talk was made available for those who were unable to attend live; I assume that this will again be the case.

Executive Summary - Final Document of the Synod October 2024

Written by: Frank Callus
Published: 06 December 2024
FAO: The Diocesan Bishops of England and Wales 
  
You will be aware that the Final Document of the Synod October 2024 has been issued. 
 
It argues,persuasively, for wider and deeper participation of all the People of God to create a listening, synodal Church. 
The Catholic Church is being called to be a more effective prophetic voice.
 
To encourage participation and engagement, we need to recognise the need for material that is more accessible than most Vatican documents. 
 
The Tablet published a blog in February 2024 making the case for a reader-friendly version of the Final Document for the Synod on Synodality
