THE APOSTOLIC LINEAGE OF THE REFORMED CELTIC CHURCH

The two primary lines of Apostolic Lineage enjoyed by the Reformed Celtic Church are the Antiochian - Jacobite; and the Roman - Old Catholic. . The two listings include the order of lineage from Peter, the first through the Church at Antioch; the second through the Church at Rome.  While traditionally these lines are referred to as "Apostolic Succession", we prefer the term "Apostolic Lineage" because any particular Bishop may have consecrated more than one Bishop, none of which necessarily "succeeds" him in authority or assumes his position in the Church.  It is merely a line of consecrators tracing back to Christ's Apostles.  While the power of the Holy Spirit is convey by the Consecrator, the line is also similar to a familial lineage.
