Common Expressions: ANTIOCHIAN

Expressions Definition
Antiochian Catholic Church in America The Antiochian Catholic Church in America or the ACCA, is one of the Independent Catholic Churches. The ACCA is distinct from most such Churches in that it embraces the theology of the Syriac Orthodox Church and that of its daughter Church, the Indian Orthodox Church, from which the ACCA primarily derives its apostolic succession via the lineage of J. René Vilatte. The clergy of the ACCA also derive their Holy Orders from the Old Catholic movement, in this case through Arnold Harris Mathew. However, the ACCA is not in full communion with the Oriental Orthodox Churches because it ordains women and because it does not require celibacy of its bishops, allowing them, like priests and deacons, to be married.
