Intercommunion Partners of
The National Catholic Church of America (NCCA)


The National Catholic Church of America (NCCA) is currently in a Covenant of Intercommunion with the following churches, whose presiding bishops have subscribed to the agreement given below. This agreement preserves the complete autonomy of each member church and its bishops, while allowing greater opportunities for ecumenical worship and ministry for each church. The NCCA invites other affirming and inclusive churches to join with us in this Covenant of Intercommunion. Presiding bishops should contact the Office of the Primate of the NCCA, either by telephone, email or USPS.

The terms of the agreement are as follows:
  1. Each church welcomes the members of the others as brothers and sisters in the Lord.


  2. Each church invites the others to the celebration of the Lord’s Supper and the sacraments of the historical Christian community.


  3. The clergy of member churches are welcome to preside at the Eucharist of other member churches and to preach according to the specific practices of each church.


  4. Laity and clergy are encouraged to celebrate their lives and sacraments with one another as brothers and sisters bound in the love of Christ.


  5. Incardination for clergy of one member church into another member church involves mutual consent of the presiding bishops of both churches and the accord of the members of each, according to its constitution and bylaws.


  6. If a member church should find itself without a bishop, the presiding bishops of the member churches will assist in consecrating a bishop for that church, in accordance with its governing documents.
It is the fervent prayer of all the people of member churches that the blessings of this concordat will inspire and nurture their love of the Risen Christ. May it also be a sign of the fulfillment of Christ’s hope that "they may all be one, as you, Father, are one in me and I am in you." (John 17:21)
