The Independent Liberal Catholic Fellowship is a unique gathering of clergy and communities in the liberal catholic tradition administered by the Old Catholic Apostolic Church.

"The Fellowship of the Holy Spirit is a Mystery "which from all ages hath been hid in God." Eph.3.9 
The Independent Liberal Catholic Fellowship came into being in early 2007 as a result of contacts between clergy in the liberal catholic tradition. It is an ecumenical clergy and community fellowship, and acts as an umbrella body for independent Catholics in the liberal tradition worldwide. It is autonomous, and has no connection with any of the churches currently using a formulation of the name "Liberal Catholic" save the LCAC the fore-runner to OCAC.

The ILCF is not a fellowship of dogma; rather, it is a fellowship of support and freedom. It does not seek to control what its members believe or their approach to worship and devotions, but is an informal union of hearts and minds, joining together individual clergy and their jurisdictions for mutual edification and the greater glory of God. In this sense it fulfils more than a merely organisational role, and is a spiritual bond across boundaries.

Membership of the ILCF is open to clergy and communities only; there is no provision for individual lay membership. Clergy who have been ordained in the Apostolic Succession may become members even if their community is not, provided their Ordinary consents to their joining the ILCF. Those in minor orders, religious communities, or with non-Apostolic Succession ordinations can be accommodated: as long as the ethos of free catholic expression is encouraged. Members may belong to other associations or none at their choice. There are no membership dues, although all are expected to support the ILCF in its work as their gifts and spiritual resources permit. The ILCF is organised directly by and is an autonomous religious society of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church. It is a 'subsiduary' of the legal not-for-profit religious body which is OCAC, but is autonomous in nearly every respect.  ILCF members are associates of, but not automatically part of OCAC.

We have community and clergy members currently in many countries, embracing a following of several thousand souls.
