A comprehensive database of clergy, jurisdictions, parishes, and religious orders within the Independent Sacramental Movement.

We’re pleased to announce that the Independent Sacramental Movement Database is back at its new home: https://independentmovement.org.

This project exists to help document and connect the clergy, jurisdictions, parishes, and religious orders of the Independent Sacramental Movement. As we relaunch the site, we invite you to help us rebuild the database by submitting your information—beginning with your Jurisdiction.

If you are affiliated with a jurisdiction, please visit https://independentmovement.org and take a few moments to add your details. Then feel free to share this post so others can do the same.

Together, we can build a more complete and accessible resource for the whole movement.

✍️ Do you have something to say? We're listening.

Convergent Streams is now accepting submissions for our Third Quarter 2026 edition, and the theme could not be more timely:
🕊️ Immigration, Belonging, and the Work of Peace

In a world that is increasingly choosing fear over welcome, we believe the Church has a prophetic word to speak. We are looking for that word from you — essays, reflections, pastoral stories, theological perspectives, poetry, and reports from communities doing the hard and holy work of peacemaking and hospitality.

Are you walking alongside immigrant families? Working for justice in your community? Wrestling with what belonging really means in the light of the Gospel? Write it down and send it to us.

📅 Submissions due: June 1, 2026
📧 Send to: [email protected]
📰 Edition releases: July 1, 2026
🌐 More info: https://convergentstreams.org

All are welcome to submit — clergy, laity, activists, theologians, community leaders, and everyday disciples who have something worth saying.

The world needs these voices. Let yours be one of them.

Pax et Bonum 🕊️
