Religious Orders

The RCC sanctions religious orders (communities of people who have chosen to live by a specific "rule of life"). Religious Orders may seek to come under the RCC by application. The application must include a statement that the Order agrees with the Reformed Celtic Church’s Mission Statement; that the Order has read, affirms, and will adhere to the Reformed Celtic Church’s Code of Pastoral Conduct; and that the Abbot or Abbess agree to a criminal background check; and submit certified results of the Meyers-Briggs Personality Test. The Order must also submit a copy of its Rule and a list of members with indication of any "titles" or offices held within the Order.
Abbots and Abbesses of approved Religious Orders are eligible voting seats on the RCC Pastoral Council.
