A Brief History of the Anamchara Celtic Church Bishop Lemasters was instrumental in forging Concordats of Inter-communion with the Mar Thoma Orthodox Church, the American Church of the East, and the Antiochian Catholic Church in America. With the dissolution of the Celtic Christian Communion in August 1997 the Apostolate changed its name to the Anamchara Celtic Church and entered a Concordat of Intercommunion with Bishop Grenier's group which was renamed the Celtic Christian Church. Father Lemaster was consecrated to the Episcopate by Bishop Faulkenbury on November 14 with Bishop Grenier of the Celtic Christian Church and Mar Michael Melchizedek of the Mar Thoma Orthodox Church serving as co-consecrators. www.lyon.edu /webdata/users/jchiaromonte/anamcharacelticchurch.htm

About Our Faith - Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle The bishop "governs the particular Church (diocese) entrusted to him with legislative, executive and judicial power, in accordance with the law." The last phrase is important: not only are some matters regularly reserved to the pope, but in other matters the rights and responsibilities of individuals or groups within the Church are legally defined. The Church defines a diocese as "a portion of the people of God, which is entrusted to a bishop" or, as "a community of Christ's faithful in communion of faith and sacraments with their bishop."

Definition of Schism Before him St. Cyprian had said: "It must be understood that the bishop is in the Church and the Church in the bishop and he is not in the Church who is not with the bishop" (Epist., lxvi, 8). Moreover the Greeks recognized in the Roman Church a pre-eminence and consequently an incontestable unifying rÙle by acknowledging her right to intervene in the disputes of the particular Churches, as is proved by the cases of Athanasius, Marcellus of Ancyra, and Chrysostom. At any rate the Church should not be regarded as infallible, but only as a trustworthy witness with regard to the true sense of the inspired text when she testifies to an interpretation received from Apostolic times. www.ourladyswarriors.org /dissent/defnschi.htm   (6818 words)
