THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY CHURCH – LUTHERAN - A Lutheran Church in the Evangelical Catholic Tradition

THE ANGLO-LUTHERAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
A MEMBER OF THE
AUGUSTANA EVANGELICAL CATHOLIC COMMUNION

GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF CHRIST

Presenting a kinder and gentler version of Lutheran Christianity, we are The Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church (ALCC,) a small theologically conservative denomination within Lutheranism's Evangelical Catholic Tradition. The ALCC is led by a Metropolitan Archbishop, the Holy Synod (consisting of the Bishops of the Church,) and a National Standing Committee. Its International Headquarters, St. Michaels House, is located in Kansas City, Missouri. The ALCC has two graduate theological seminaries: Wittenberg Lutheran Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Alcuin Institute of the Trans-Pecos in Alpine, Texas, (which is also an Institute for research in Biblical Languages.)

Parishes are located in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Missions are under development in several other states, Canada, Kenya, and Sudan. There is also a nongeographic ethnic Vietnamese Archdiocese, and a nongeographic ethnic Sudanese Archdiocese in the United States and an Archdiocese of All Africa. The Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church is a True Particular Church in accordance with the terms of the Second Vatican Council's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church: Lumen Gentium 26 (http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/V2CHURCH.HTM); and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 312, 830-833, http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_P29.HTM .) The Bishops and all other clergy of the ALCC are ordained in the historic Apostolic Succession through several lineages including the Duarte-Costa lineage of the Rebiban (or Vatican) Succession among others. For information about the specific Lineages of the historic Apostolic Succession held by this Church, please contact the Metropolitan Archbishop. The Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church is a member of the Augustana Evangelical Catholic Communion and the Sudanese Council of Churches USA.

A LUTHERAN CHURCH IN THE EVANGELICAL CATHOLIC TRADITION

It has been written that all Roman Catholics are Catholics, but not all Catholics are Roman. All Lutheran denominations are part of what Comparative Religion scholars call "The Catholic Family of Churches". Lutheran worship is liturgical, centered on the altar instead of the pulpit, and follows the "Mass format." As Evangelical Catholics, however, part of a pan - Lutheran movement to reclaim the fullness of Lutheranism's catholic faith and heritage leading to an eventual reunion with the Roman Catholic Church, our worship resembles that of the pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church more than that of most other Lutherans. The ALCC uses all of the historic liturgies, ceremonies and devotional customs of Western Catholic Christianity modified only when absolutely required by Lutheran liturgical principles or local circumstances. The use of the many sacramental rites and "aids to devotion" common throughout Western Catholic Christianity is encouraged for those who find them helpful, but is not mandatory. Their significance and the underlying theology supporting their use is also understood somewhat differently by Evangelical Catholic Lutherans.

A COMMUNITY OF FAITH

By Grace

As Evangelical Catholic Lutherans, we believe, teach and confess that love is one of God's attributes and that he continually draws all Christians to Himself by grace. God has never left Himself without witnesses among any people at any time. However, humanity is lost apart from the saving grace of God which is available to all through the sacrifice on the cross of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for the sins of the whole World. Our emphasis is not on judgment and guilt, but instead on God's grace, warmth, forgiveness, acceptance and love. (Gen 15:6, Ps 19:1-4, Ps 139:7-12; Jn 1:12; Acts 14:17; Rom 1: 16-17; 3:28; Eph 2:8-10)

By Faith

As Evangelical Catholic Lutherans, we believe, teach, and confess that we are saved by grace through faith. This saving faith in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior is given to us by the Holy Spirit. It is not the result of any good works, diligent prayers, our own decision to accept Christ. Christ has already accepted us, and our saving faith leads us into good works as a response in gratitude to God for his gift of grace. We believe, teach, and confess that this saving faith in Jesus Christ is fed and strengthened by hearing the Word and receiving the Holy Sacraments of the Church. (Gen 15:16; Jn 1:12, 3:16; Rom 1:16-17, 5:1, 3:28, Eph 2:8-9)

Scripture

Lutheran Churches are Bible churches. As Evangelical Catholic Lutherans, we believe, teach, and confess that God has revealed Himself progressively through the ages in the Books of the Old Testament (including the Apocrypha) and the New Testament, which, being Divinely inspired, are the Word of God written. The Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church accepts the following documents as its official statements on the nature and authority of Scripture and Revelation.
"The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church" (http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/PBCINTER.HTM) Pontifical Biblical Commission, 1994; "The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation – Dei Verbum" http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/V2REVEL.HTM Vatican II, Pope Paul VI, 1965; and "The Catechism of the Catholic Church": Part 1, Section 1, Chapter 2, Article 3, http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_PP.HTM
"The Sacred Scriptures give support and vigor to the life of the Church. For the children of the Church, it is a confirmation of the faith, food for the soul, and the fount of spiritual Life. Sacred Scripture is the soul of theology and of pastoral preaching. The Psalmist says that it is 'a lamp to my feet and a light to my path' (Psalm 119:105.) Everyone should read the Sacred Scriptures frequently because, as St. Jerome wrote, 'ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.'"
- Catechism of the Catholic Church: 105-108, 135-136, 131-133, 141. http://www.christusrex.org/www1/CDHN/profess4.html#INSPIRATION

Because they are trustworthy witnesses to the Gospel, this Church accepts The Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds, and the Definition of the Union of the Divine and Human Natures in the Person of Christ, Definition of the Faith, Council of Chalcedon, 451 A.D.

( http://www.ewtn.com/library/councils/chalcedo.htm#2)

Insofar as they are trustworthy witnesses to the Gospel and in accord with authentic Catholic Faith and Tradition, this Church accepts the following documents from The Book of Concord (1580):

The Unaltered Augsburg Confession ( http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/wittenberg/wittenberg-boc.html#ac )

The Apology of the Augsburg Confession
( http://www.ctsfw.edu/etext/boc/ap)

The Small Catechism of Father Martin Luther
( http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/wittenberg/wittenberg-boc.html#sc )

The Large Catechism of Father Martin Luther
( http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/wittenberg/wittenberg-boc.html#lc )

Insofar as they are trustworthy witnesses to the Gospel and in accord with authentic Catholic Faith and Tradition, this church accepts the remainder of The Book of Concord (1580) except the Formula of Concord; with major modifications in Sacramental Theology, the nature of the Sacrament of Ordination and the nature of Holy Orders (the Priesthood,) and Principles of Church Government derived from the (Lutheran) Church of Sweden, the Oxford Movement of the Anglican Communion, the Canon Law Code of the Catholic Church (1983), and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994.)

( http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P2Z.HTM )

Because they are trustworthy witnesses to the Gospel and to authentic Catholic Faith and Tradition, this Church accepts the doctrinal decrees of all the Ecumenical Councils recognized by the Roman Catholic Church.

( http://www.catholicapologetics.org/ap040400.htm )

Because they are trustworthy witnesses to the Gospel and to authentic Catholic Faith and Tradition, this Church subscribes to the Lutheran/Roman Catholic Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, Augsburg, Germany, 1999. Because they are trustworthy witnesses to the Gospel and to authentic Catholic Faith, Tradition, and Spirituality, and because the ecumenical goal of the ALCC is visible, corporate reunion with the Bishop and Church of Rome, it accepts the documents and teachings of the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church though it is not under Papal Authority at this time.

( http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/documents/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_31101999_cath-luth-joint-declaration_en.html )
( http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM )

We recognize and respect the Pope as the Bishop of Rome, Successor to St. Peter, Vicar of Christ, and a prayer is said for him in our communion liturgy. (Ps 119:1-5; Jn 17:17; 2Tim 3:16; Rev 22:18- 19).

The ALCC endorses the Kansas City Declaration on Marriage and the Colorado Statement on Biblical Sexual Morality.

A WORSHIPPING COMMUNITY

The Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church and the Augustana Evangelical Catholic Communion, of which it is a member, retains the Catholic Sacramental System of seven Sacraments (Baptism, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Reconciliation/Penance, Unction, Holy Matrimony/Marriage, and Holy Orders/Ordination.) Mass (Holy Communion) is celebrated at all services in our parishes on Sundays and Holy Days. Masses may also be celebrated for specific intentions. All baptized Christians who believe that Christ is really present in, with and under the bread and wine are invited to receive Communion at our altar. Baptism is administered on request. For Infant Baptisms, no parent's or godparent's classes are required, though they are required before Adult Baptism or Confirmation. Private Confession (the Sacrament of Reconciliation) is available before Mass or by appointment. The Sacrament of Holy Unction (for healing as well as for "last rites") is administered upon request. (Mt 26:26-29; Mk 14:22-25; Lk 22: 17-20; Acts 2: 24; 1Cor 11:17-29)

A WITNESSING COMMUNITY

As an Evangelical Catholic Lutheran denomination, we emphasize God's love, warmth, forgiveness and acceptance. We believe, teach and confess that God works to draw all of His beloved children to Himself through His free, unsolicited, and unconditional gift of salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus alone, then gently leads and nurtures us through Word and Sacrament. In loving response to His free gift of truly amazing grace, our gratitude leads us to share God's love with those around us, with true concern for both their spiritual welfare and physical well-being. As recipients of and witnesses of His grace and favor, we enthusiastically work as Christ's agents in the very midst of our secular humanist culture. We welcome the opportunity to strengthen and care for our all fellow human beings as we present Jesus Christ and His message of salvation to the entire world. (Mt 28:19-20; Lk 24: 46-49 Jn 1: 12-13; Jn 3:16; 2Cor 5)

JOIN OUR COMMUNITY!

To become a member of an ALCC parish, you need only to attend a brief series of conversations about the basic teachings of Lutheran Christianity as presented in The Unaltered Augsburg Confession and Father Martin Luther's Small Catechism followed by Baptism and Adult Confirmation or Affirmation of Faith. Or, simply present a letter of transfer or release from a congregation of any Lutheran denomination. Associate Membership is available for those who wish to keep their primary membership elsewhere. To find a parish near you, please check the listings below or contact the International Headquarters.

ORDINATION AND PARISH AFFILIATION

Wittenberg Lutheran Seminary and the Alcuin Institute of the Trans-Pecos offer a program leading to ordination and assignment as a priest or deacon of the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church. For more information and a prospectus, please contact the Metropolitan Archbishop.

Those already ordained may enter the Priesthood of the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church as priests or deacons through incardination or re-ordination. For information about these processes, please contact the Metropolitan Archbishop.

Properly designated representatives of Lutheran congregations interested in exploring the possibility of becoming parishes of the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church should contact the Archbishop.

A STATEMENT ON THE ORDINATION OF WOMEN

The Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church does not have and never has had any female clergy. While it does recognize the pastoral and leadership abilities of both men and women, and welcomes their service in those leadership positions open to laymen, the
Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church has imposed a moratorium on the admission of women as Postulants for Holy Orders and their ordination into any Order of the Priesthood of the Church. The moratorium also forbids the incardination into any Order of the Priesthood of this Church of women already ordained into the Priesthood by other Churches. Nor may women ordained by other Churches be given a License to Officiate in our parishes.

When the ordination of women is authorized by a full Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church, this issue will be revisited by the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church.

In the meantime, the following documents are endorsed as statements of the Doctrine of the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church on the issue of the ordination of women:

CHARTERED INDEPENDENT MINISTRIES

Chartered Independent Ministries are organizations belonging to other denominations, and are led by clergy who belong to other denominations. These Ministries are not agencies of the ALCC, nor are they under the ALCC's ecclesiastical oversight in any way. The Independent Ministry Charter does not imply any form of Communion with them or with the Church to which they belong. The Independent Ministry Charter is nothing more than the ALCC's unique way of endorsing these fine organizations and their activities.
