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.

Prayer over the Offerings

Look with favour on our supplications, O Lord,

and in your kindness accept these, your servants’ offerings, that what each has offered to the honour of your name may serve the salvation of all.

Through Christ our Lord.

In the last few weeks Jean has announced to the Trustees, and to her own group in Birmingham, that she intends to step down from the diocesan and national roles that she has held with ACTA over the last seven years. Her commitment to the role of the laity in the working of the Catholic Church remains undimmed but she expressed the wish to retire from active involvement.
