The Ecumenical Catholic Church of North America's position is simple. We hold to the integrity of the Faith Catholic, independent of Rome, whilst at the one and same time respecting the authenticity and validity of other Faith Traditions. As we remain to the best of our ability faithful to the Catholic teaching of the Apostolic Church we also recognize that our fellow sisters and brothers of other traditions such as the Anglican and Reformed, remaining true to their understanding of Word and Sacrament. We make no judgement on others who may differ from us in the ministry of Holy Orders and or the polity that gives structure to our various ecclesiastical communities. We accept the Seven Sacraments and the Apostles and Nicene Creed.

We hold to the ancient Catholic teaching of the Communion of the Saints which we see as one of the essentials of our understanding of what it is to be 'Catholic' and we respect the historical centres of the Church. But we do not believe any one of these centres, or persons occupying such, have any authority either by Scripture or Apostolic directive that is reserved solely to them. We cherish both the Fathers and Mothers of the Church and, like them, we do not embrace any teaching that is contrary to Nicene Creed or to any other notion of secret knowledge or Gnosticism. We believe that the Whole People of God govern the Church as the Holy Spirit gives direction and teaching. In a nut shell we believe in "essentials unity, in non essentials diversity; but in all things, Love!
