Brothers & Sisters,

Since most of us live far away from an Arian Catholic establishment, I was curious to know how (or if) each one of you worships?
Does anyone here attend a Unitarian Christian church or do you have any solitary services?

God Bless

Dear Joe,

Where there is no church available Arian Catholics must hold services at designated meeting places, whether they be at someone's home, a hall or in another church which is willing to lend its facilities (not unlike the early church!).

Of course where there is not a priest available the Sacraments cannot be administered, however a Lay Preacher/Reader can read passages from the bible and relay messages from a remote Deacon, Priest/Presbyter or Bishop. I am currently working on building up our clergy so that we can provide services to more of our Parishioners around the world, however I do ask for patience, generosity and assistance as this work does take time, money and effort.

I am setting up a new service page for people who would like spiritual guidance and to follow a Sabbath service and this will incorporate the announcement feature of this forum.

If anyone is able to form local communities of Arian Catholics or feel that they are able to take on the role of Laity or would be interested in becoming ordained as an AC Deacon/Presbyter then please tell us about yourselves. I also ask Parishioners to register so that we can put people in touch with each other who live relatively close.

Br. Joe,

While our local community of the Ante-Nicene Chirstian Fellowships, Living Faith Fellowship, is no "expressly Arian" you, or any others, would be very welcomed to worship with us either at our Sunday Gathering of the Saints or any one of our mid week Home Fellowships. But of course we are in East TN (Knoxville). :)

I don't know of any Arian community in Worchestershire or the surrounding counties. Are there any Arian communities within Worchestershire. Attending an Arian church may well help in making my mind up.
