Apostolic Succession of The Australian Church of Antioch
THE APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION of the OLD CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CHURCH (Anglo-Catholic)
The Apostolic Succession of any Catholic Church is of utmost importance. The lineage of the Church, through its Bishops extends in a unbroken line, back through the centuries to the Apostles, thence to our Lord Jesus Christ Himself thus: bestowing the authority and power of the Church.
The following tables traces the lineage of the Old Catholic Communion, of which the Old Catholic Episcopal Church is a part, to its: inception.
It is not usual to trace back through the lineage of the Papacy or the Patriarchy, however, in this case it is thought wise to go the extra step and show the connections with both the Eastern and Western Churches, and to demonstrate both lines back to Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Old Catholic Succession from the western (Roman) Church begins with Antonio Cardinal Barberini (238) in 1655, and from the Eastern Church from Mar Ignatius Julius I (127) in 1888.
This is the valid Apostolic Succession of the Regionary Bishop of the Old Catholic Episcopal Church, and of the Episcopacy of the Federation of Independent Catholic and Orthodox Bishop.
The documentation of this Table is in the Archives of the Old Catholic Order of Christ the King, at Glendale, Los Angeles County, California, and U.S.A.
