What is Convergent Catholic?

Our theology, our commitments, and the convergence we are trying to live.

What Grounds Us

Sacramental Life

The mysteries are not symbols. They are how Christ keeps meeting us.

Apostolic Continuity

Our orders are real. Our bishops serve, they do not rule.

Spirit-Led Worship

We expect the Holy Spirit to show up. We make room.

A Real Welcome Table

The Table belongs to Christ. We do not stand at the door checking lists.

A Church That Refuses False Choices

For too long Christians have been told to pick a side. Ancient or alive. Sacramental or evangelical. Reverent or open to the Spirit. Faithful to tradition or welcoming to the wounded. We do not believe in those choices.

The Convergent Catholic Communion holds together what God never tore apart. Sacraments and Scripture. Liturgy and the Spirit. The old faith of the Church and the real lives of the people in front of us.

We are catholic in faith. We are connected by relationship, not bureaucracy. We are affirming of LGBTIA+ persons because the Gospel left us no other option. We are independent because conscience required it, not because we are bitter.

We are small on purpose. We grow slowly on purpose. We mean what we say.

I am Convergent - Fr. Agapios

Today, I stand as a priest who has walked through multiple expressions of the Christian faith and found them converging into one coherent calling. I am fully sacramental, fully charismatic, and fully committed to the transforming power of the Gospel. I honor the ancient Church while remaining open to the new things the Spirit is doing. This is my journey. This is my convergence. This is the river God has led me into. I am convergent.

When the Church’s Life Becomes Its Statement

But let us not confuse statements for faithfulness. Let our churches become the statement. Let our tables become the statement. Let our ministries become the statement. Let our lives become the statement. And when words are finally needed, let them rise from a witness already visible. Let them point not to our importance, but to Christ. Let them call attention not to the size of our communion, but to the suffering of God’s beloved. Let them serve the wounded, n

I am Convergent - Bishop Michael Angelo D'arrigo

The Church does not need less mystery. It needs less exclusion. It does not need less sacrament. It needs more compassion. It does not need more certainty. It needs more love. And I believe Convergent Catholicism, imperfect though any movement may be, points toward that future with courage, beauty, and hope.

I am Convergent - Archpriest Columba

Every church tradition also has places where it forgets something. Some churches have sacraments but little fire. Some have fire but little structure. Some have Scripture but little mystery. Some have mystery but little mission. Some have justice language but little sacramental depth. Some have beautiful worship but little concern for the wounded outside their doors. This is why I am Convergent.

From Easter to Metanoia: Why the Convergent Lectionary Forms a Convergent Church

The Church does not move randomly through time. The liturgical year is formation. It teaches us how to see. How to pray. How to live. And nowhere is this more visible than the journey from Easter through Ascension, Pentecost, and into what the Convergent Lectionary names the Season of Metanoia.

A Paschal Pastoral Letter For Great & Holy Pascha

In the light of the Resurrection, I write to you at a time when the world feels burdened by uncertainty, division, and grief. The proclamation of Pascha comes to us not as sentiment, but as truth spoken into a wounded world. We do not proclaim resurrection because life is easy. We proclaim it because life is difficult, and because the Gospel insists that suffering and death do not have the final word.

The Convergent Lectionary

The Convergent Lectionary, is a working liturgical calendar drawn from East and West, ancient sources, and the wider canon. Approved by our General Assembly in 2024 and used across our communities for worship, preaching, and personal prayer.
The Lectionary is one of the ways we live our convergence. It teaches the whole story of salvation across the year and lets the saints of both East and West speak again in our common life.

Our Calendar is viewable below and here.
