Talk:Personal Ordinariate

[edit]

Apart from the Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church, the article should really consider verifying whether groups such as the Evangelical Catholic Church have ever sought a similar canonical structure to the proposed personal ordinariates. ADM (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently, the Evangelical Catholic Church is now part of the American Orthodox Church, an autogenic Eastern Orthodox Church of Russian Orthodox heritage within the Independent Catholic / Independent Sacramental Movement.

Following the death of its head, Metropolitan Karl Barwin, the website of the Evangelical Catholic Church now states that the website was closed in June of 2009, and now has a link to the website of the American Orthodox Church at http://www.apostle1.com. Information about the Evangelical Catholic Church is on that website now, to which there is a link on the left side of the page. gladfelteri (talk) 8:08, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

The Rev. Fr. Paul Lorentzen, currently of the International Lutheran Fellowship, has been elected Metropolitan Bishop of the Evangelical Catholic Church, and will begin his duties as such as soon as ordained / consecrated into the Episcopacy. I will note this on the main article as soon as its new website is up and running to provide an external reference. I anticipate it will return to an Evangelical Catholic (high church) Lutheran orientation once he officially takes over. gladfelteri (talk) 13:13, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Church naming conventions RfC

[edit]

There is currently an RfC at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(Catholic_Church)#RfC:_should_this_page_be_made_a_naming_convention that may be of interest. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 23:44, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Split proposal

[edit]

This article was originally about the Evangelical Catholic Church, a small Lutheran church body founded in 1976. The article, was, however, changed in 2016 to describe the Evangelical Catholic Church, a small independent Catholic church body founded in 1997. This was a good faith edit, but it still should be undone. I think the best way to fix this would be to turn "Evangelical Catholic Church" into a disambiguation page with links to individual articles on the Lutheran and Catholic church bodies. I'm not entirely certain how those articles should be titled though. "Evangelical Catholic Church (Lutheran)" and "Evangelical Catholic Church (Catholic)" might work, but I'd be interesting in hearing suggestions anyone else might have.
