Publisher's Synopsis
Why do we speak of a "Free" Catholicism? Christianity has experienced many developments, reformations, and a counter-reformation, since the time of the primitive Church, when the message of Jesus was passed along from person to person. Perhaps it is because we have come to recognize that the dogma and structure of the historic Church is in need of new inspiration, which honors tradition, but which more fully embraces people where they are now, and which is more truly open to Spirit's movement in the world today. This book provides an introduction to the philosophy and "charism" of the Ascension Alliance and Community of Ascensionists, an Independent Catholic jurisdiction, not part of the Roman Catholic Church, which attempts to do precisely this.
