FutureChurch Mission and Vision Our Mission: FutureChurch seeks changes that will provide all Roman Catholics the opportunity to participate fully in Church life and leadership Our Vision: FutureChurch works for: * Just, open and collaborative structures for Catholic worship, organization and governance. * A return to the Church’s early tradition of both married and celibate priests. * A return to the Church’s earliest tradition, modeled on the inclusive practice of Jesus, of recognizing both female and male leaders of faith communities. * Regular access to the Eucharist, the center of Catholic life and worship, for all Catholics. Guiding Principle: Future Church's activities grow from a spirituality based on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Eucharist, the Spirit-filled beliefs of the faithful, and the teachings of Vatican II.
