Orthodox-Catholic Church of America
The Orthodox-Catholic Church of America (OCCA) is an independent and self-governing Orthodox jurisdiction based in the United States, with clergy also in Mexico. As of July 2010, the denomination's online directory listed 27 affiliated parishes or missions, and two religious communities.〔("Missions and Communities within The Orthodox-Catholic Church of America" ). Copyrighted 1998 - 2012, The Orthodox-Catholic Church of America. Last modified Last Modified: July 28, 2010; Accessed: July 19, 2012.〕 The OCCA is not associated with any mainstream Orthodox church.
The denomination is governed by a synod of diocesan bishops (currently seven) and a metropolitan archbishop. The current metropolitan is Robert Zahrt, known as Archbishop Peter. The ecclesial purpose of the OCCA is the worship of God in the Holy Trinity; the proclamation and continuing of the Orthodox faith as taught in holy scripture, the apostolic tradition and the seven ecumenical councils of the undivided and ancient Church of Christ. The OCCA is one of a number of churches seeking to blend Orthodoxy in an American setting. Its worship and beliefs are influenced by eastern and western and western orthodox traditions, and considers itself to be one "self-governing" church out of many in the Orthodox tradition.〔( Orthodox-Catholic Church of America -- About Us ) Copyrighted 1998 - 2012 by The Orthodox-Catholic Church of America. Last Modified: 12 Dec 2009. Accessed 19 July 2012〕 The OCCA is a standing member of the International Council of Community Churches (ICCC).〔( International Council of Community Churches )〕
==Clergy and sacraments==
The clergy ordained by the denomination operate their ministries independently from the denomination. According a statement on the OCCA website:
Thee OCCA accepts both men and women, married and unmarried, as candidates for ordination to all three orders of the apostolic ministry (deacons, presbyters, and bishops). The OCCA ordains openly lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual persons as clergy and blesses their unions as it does those of heterosexual couples. Access to the seven sacraments is offered to all individuals regardless of sex or sexual orientation. The OCCA has two monastic (religious) communities. Monasticism within the jurisdiction takes either a Western, Eastern or Oriental form just as the liturgical identity of the church as a whole represents herself.
