Welcome to Independent Sacramental!  Resources, Formation, and Community for the Independent Sacramental Movement

🌿 Welcome

The Independent Sacramental Movement (ISM) is a diverse family of Christian communities rooted in the ancient Catholic and Apostolic tradition — yet living it in independent, creative, and compassionate ways.

IndependentSacramental.org exists to support clergy, laity, and inquirers across this broad spectrum: Old Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Continuing, Ecumenical, Inclusive, and Traditional movements alike.

🕊️ Our Vision

To strengthen and connect the Independent Sacramental Movement through:

  • Credible theological and pastoral resources

  • Formation and education for ministers and seekers

  • Community and collaboration among diverse jurisdictions

We celebrate the richness of our traditions — from the incense of high liturgy to the simplicity of home-based worship — united by the sacraments and the love of Christ.

📚 Explore

• Learn – Essays, catechetical guides, and clergy resources
• Connect – Directory of ISM jurisdictions and communities
• Watch – Interviews and reflections on Mysterium Fidei
• Grow – Formation materials and pastoral tools
