Ohio O C C - Orthodox Catholic Church - Our Lady of Peace The church maintains that all Christians share in the priesthood of Christ. Our Lady of Peace is only one parish/ministry of OhioOCC.

The Ohio Orthodox Catholic Church (OhioOCC) is an inclusive body, an Independent Orthodox Catholic Church whose purpose is to give expression to life in the divine. We have two monastic communities, and two parishes. The Ohio Orthodox Catholic Church (OhioOCC) is an Independent Old Catholic Church consisting of clergy and laity whose core value is to give expression to life in the divine. We embra

ce aspects of both the Catholic (Western) and Orthodox (Eastern) traditions of liturgy, with a priesthood ordained under Apostolic Succession. We are an inclusive church, with an open view on issues of gender and sexuality, the role of women in the Church within ordained ministry, the role of married people within ordained ministry, the use of one's conscience when deciding to use artificial contraception, and in their liturgical reforms such as open communion (because no human can presume to exclude any Christian from communion) and monastic orders. The Roman Catholic Church sees us as a schismatic church but recognizes that the Old Catholic Church has valid sacraments and that the clergy ordinations are valid. Some of the members, both clergy and laity, of the Ohio Orthodox Catholic Church bring to the church the monastic orders that they have belonged to from their previous church affiliations. Presently we have a independent Franciscan Order which is headed by our Archbishop who has over 40 year as a professed Franciscan monastic. We also have an independent Eastern Rite monastic community which is headed by our female bishop who has over 40 year as a professed monastic.

If you missed this morning's service, you missed an incredible sermon. Brother Robert McDaniel had the pulpit and was on FIRE... Preaching on faith in that almost song-like style so common in of African-American pulpits . . . Wonderful. Uplifting. Inspiring.
