Sinopsis

What’s in a name—and why does it matter for the Independent Sacramental Movement?
In a landscape filled with overlapping identities, unfamiliar terminology, and communities that vary widely in history and structure, Names and Identity in the Independent Sacramental Movement offers clarity, honesty, and pastoral wisdom. This accessible guide helps newcomers and long-time members alike understand what different names within the ISM actually mean—and why choosing them thoughtfully is essential for healthy ministry.

From the terms Old Catholic, Independent Catholic, and Inclusive Catholic, to less familiar descriptors like Ordinariate, Autocephalous, and Sacramental Christian, this book walks readers through the historical roots, theological meanings, and pastoral implications of the labels used across the movement. Rather than policing terminology, the author explores why names matter: they shape expectations, communicate mission, build trust, and help communities grow with integrity.

The book addresses common sources of confusion—such as the difference between the European Old Catholic Churches and the American Old Catholic heritage—and explains why clarity is crucial when independent communities present themselves online, welcome newcomers, or engage in ecumenical relationships. It also includes thoughtful appendices on responding to objections about the use of the word Catholic and why ISM communities should develop their own liturgical texts rather than adopting the official worship books of other churches.

Grounded in pastoral experience and written in a warm, reflective style, this book offers:

A clear introduction to the names and identities found across the ISM
A calm, historically informed response to critiques from Roman Catholic and Orthodox perspectives
Insight into how naming shapes mission, governance, and spiritual life
Guidance for communities seeking integrity and transparency
Encouragement for ISM clergy and laity who sometimes feel unseen, misunderstood, or undervalued

Names and Identity in the Independent Sacramental Movement is an invaluable resource for seekers, clergy, theologians, and anyone who wants to understand this diverse and often misunderstood branch of the Christian family. It invites communities to embrace honesty, humility, and the quiet confidence that God is present wherever truth and sacramental life meet.

Informaci�n sobre el derecho de desistimiento

Derecho legal de desistimiento

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 d�as sin dar ning�n motivo.

El periodo de desistimiento vencer� a los 14 d�as desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesi�n f�sica del �ltimo bien o del �ltimo lote o pieza.

Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electr�nica y env�e una declaraci�n clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a trav�s de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electr�nico).

Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que env�e su comunicaci�n relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Efectos del desistimiento

Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de env�o (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de env�o que no sea el tipo de env�o est�ndar m�s econ�mico que ofrecemos).

Podemos hacer una deducci�n del reembolso por la p�rdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la p�rdida es el resultado de una manipulaci�n innecesaria por su parte.

Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a m�s tardar, 14 d�as despu�s de que se nos informe de su decisi�n de rescindir este contrato.

Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utiliz� para la transacci�n inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrir� en ning�n cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.

Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
