Bishop ad tempus: Bishop Adrian
OCAC Canada is a dispersed church which enables clergy to exercise ministry as they are called by Christ, but where they live and under the accountability of the church entity. Canada is a vast country and its unrealistic to be able to visit the ministries regularly. If your ministry would benefit from being part of a larger church entity as part of a dispersed church, please get in touch.
