Each of these ordinations and consecrations took place during a public celebration of the Mass, before independent witnesses. The Instruments of Ordination and Consecration will be found on the Publications page of this website.

Mar Joannes was further ordained ministerially (non-Apostolically) in 2002 and was a minister of the English Liberal Free Church until 2006.

Important note
With the exception of the consecration of 23 November 2008 which was under the auspices of the Apostolic Episcopal Church in which Mar Joannes III serves as bishop, each bishop performing the rites of ordination and consecration described above participated in the capacity of a bishop performing a sacrament specifically for our community. Mar Joannes III has never been a member of either the Celtic Catholic Church or the Independent Catholic Alliance, and has never executed any instrument of canonical obedience to any bishop of these churches. There exists no current agreement of intercommunion or otherwise between The Liberal Catholic Apostolic Church and these communities.
