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.

Conference Speakers

Written by: Jean Riordan
Published: 17 November 2013

Thank you to all the people at our National Conference who asked for transcripts of the speakers' talks. You can find Gerry'J Hughes SJ's talk "Where do we go from here" in the documents section of this web-site. Professor John Sullivan's talk is there too, but the title has been changed to "Being a Citizen in the Church" - the Talk is exactly what he said at Newman University - the editor of the Furrow is publishing it in their December issue and has kindly allowed us to put it up now. Professor King did not give us a transcript unfortunately but  you might like to look up an excellent extended interview with her at 

www.heacadamy.ac.uk

If you goolge, Ursula King that interview is very near the top of the page, and it covers many of the things she spoke about in her talk as well as giving you references to where else you can find her work.
