Commitment to the Society

I have reviewed the Society’s Rule of Life and declare that I am prepared to adopt it faithfully as I am able and that I share the Society’s commitment to the catholic tradition as an integral part of the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, and the Anglican Communion. By joining the Society, I re-affirm my oath of conformity to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church (or the Anglican Church of Canada) and I embrace the Society’s efforts to provide mutual support and encouragement among the Church’s priests.

MEMBERSHIP

* Membership is open to all bishops, priests, and deacons who:

a) believe that the churches of the Anglican Communion are part of the one holy and catholic and apostolic church;

b) are members of The Episcopal Church or the Anglican Church of Canada;

c) embrace as colleagues all those admitted to Holy Orders in the same;

d) believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist;

e) embrace the sacramental life of the Church as means of God's grace;

f) and keep the rule of life of the Society.

* Professed, but unordained, members of religious communities may also be admitted as full members with the same constitution rights as ordained persons.

* Seminarians and seminary graduates preparing for Ordination may be admitted as “provisional members” and upon their diaconal ordination shall automatically be enrolled as full members.

* While their religious affiliation may make them ineligible for membership in the Society, members of our ecumenical partners are welcome to participate in local conversations and events at the discretion of the local Chapter.

RULE OF LIFE

Members of the Society must

* affirm their fidelity to the Episcopal Church or the Anglican Church of Canada, depending upon their canonical residency, and the canonical leadership of the same;

* affirm their conformity to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the same said province of the Anglican Communion; and

* pledge to provide mutual support and encouragement among the Church’s clergy.

Members of the Society will commit themselves to living the Society’s Rule of Life, namely to

* center their spiritual life on the Eucharist;

* say the daily office;

* consult regularly a spiritual director;

* make use of the sacrament of reconciliation;

* pray for their sisters and brothers in the Society;

* offer confidential pastoral care to fellow members of the Society; and

* attend all meetings of their local Chapter unless prevented by good reason.
I desire membership in the Society of Catholic Priests and have read the Commitment to the Society. * I wish to be a member.
Membership Dues

Membership dues in the SCP are flexible. We do not want finances to be a barrier to anyone joining the Society. We do ask that everyone who joins makes a financial commitment that is within their present means.

Those registering for the November annual conference at Christ Church New Haven in 2010 will have their dues included in the conference fees and need not pay an additional due.

The suggested donation is $50.00 (US). Your dues go to offset the costs of the conference, printed materials, website maintenance, and other operating costs.

TheSCP is a registered 501c3 non-profit institution.
