MISSION statement: Revised 2026

We are a group of Catholics, some of whom are ordained, brought together by our love of Christ’s Church and a desire to be part of the synodal renewal it needs.
 
Inspired by the legacy of the Second Vatican Council, and the call to Synodality for the Church of the third millennium, we want to contribute fully to the life of our Church so that it may be a more effective and inclusive sign of the Kingdom of God.
 
To enable this, we wish to promote listening, dialogue and receptivity within the Church, and with all people of good will, open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
 
Accordingly, we aim to facilitate opportunities to share experiences, practices and insights to discern our hopes and aims for the Church in the world today.

THEOLOGY statement:

ACTA is a movement built from below by clergy and laity alike in every diocese in England and Wales. It exists to give those people an effective voice. It is an instrument to establish and promote space for a trusting dialogue within a hierarchically structured people’s Church.
 
ACTA believes that the reforms of the Second Vatican Council are the only way forward for mission to modern society. It is not a small chapel of selected followers; it believes in the Church as a “big tent”, with open doors. As a free and representative association of believers, it seeks to liberate the expertise in the ranks, so as to bring added energy and witness to the Church in the world.

Austin Ivereigh - First Hand Synodal Reflections

Written by: Alex Walker
Published: 18 January 2024

Austin Ivereigh is the author of a number of acclaimed and influential books on Pope Francis, and was invited personally by Pope Francis to attend the recent Rome Synod in October 2023 at the Vatican where he gained invaluable experience from participating in the synodal process.

He will share his insights and expertise with an audience at St Anne’s church, Overbury Street, Liverpool on Sunday evening at 6.00pm on 28th January 2024. This is an un-rivalled opportunity to hear first-hand reflections on what many consider to be the greatest event in the Catholic Church since the 2nd Vatican Council with profound implications for the future.
You can attend in person or follow the event which will be live-streamed on YouTube: St Anne & St Bernard Liverpool, UK

The talk will be recorded and available on 3prophets.co.uk and will be followed-up by a 3-session Lenten on-line series reflecting upon the content of Austen’s talk in relation to the lives of 3 Liverpool priests (Fr. Tom Cullinan, Fr. Austin Smith CP and Fr. Kevin Kelly) in whose ministry was reflected elements of the synodal process.

The proposed dates are Thursdays 22nd February, 7th and 21st March, but will be confirmed on the website.

3prophets.co.uk  contains the writings and talks of these three remarkable and influential Liverpool priests – please do visit the site and have a browse.

Gaza this October

Hour by hour
countless
munitions fall
in an exchange
of fearsome fire.

 

Smoke erupts
from shattered
Buildings hanging
through the orange
glow of flame.
