The Liberal Catholic Church is an independent and self-governing body; neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant - but Catholic. It traces its episcopal succession to the Old Catholic Church of Holland and came into existence as the result of a complete re-organization in 1915-1916 of the Old Catholic movement in Great Britain. It permits its members freedom of interpretation of the scriptures, the creeds and the liturgy. Regarding the mind as one of the great avenues to spiritual apprehension, it encourages among its adherents the freest play of scientific and philosophic thought.
The Liberal Catholic Church is a living Christian church which maintains that the form of religion should keep pace with human spiritual growth and enlightenment; but it also holds that the Church was handed down a very precious heritage from Christ himself.
