The Open Episcopal Church is rooted in the Teachings and Traditions of the Early Church
Enshrined in the Christian Creeds and Agreements of all the early Ecumenical Councils.
Our Apostolic Succession originates in the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands and Archiepiscopal See of Utrecht
We express our beliefs in a Radical, Relevant, Modern and Accessible Manner.
The Open Episcopal Church in Ireland is currently working outside Dungloe Co Donegal, soon in the City of Derry
and aims to establish our ministry in both Belfast and Dublin, eventually spreading throughout Ireland....
In His words..."Come Follow Me"

Church is not a Building or a Denomination or a Distinct Group of People,
Rather ....... It is Everyone that Exists.
The original meaning of the word "church" referred to those who
gathered randomly, momentarily, to chat, laugh, weep or share their lives.
Humanity, in which every person has a right to be involved and play their part
To be available to everyone and regard every person as equal and welcome to contribute.
Not regarding ourselves as different from others, nor do we believe that we have all the answers or can be the source of all wisdom.
We believe that everyone has a part to play in the conversation and drama of life.
Encouraging all to offer their talents and in the connecting that takes place we all give and receive.
Growing towards a better and more humane understanding.
