Religious Society of Saint Simon-One of great group i have know.


The Religious Society of St Simon was founded under the name Society of Free Christians in 1999 by Revd. George Stephen Callander, broadly following the spirit of the Revd. Joseph Morgan Lloyd Thomas and the Society of Free Catholics. The intention of SFC was to promote liturgical worship in the Catholic tradition within liberal Christian, non-credal, non-judgemental theology. SFC was founded in parallel with the Society of the Divine Spirit, and for a time was the focus of that society's worship before the formation of the English Liberal Free Church, which subsequently adopted the name The Liberal Rite in 2007. Members over the years have come from different Christian traditions, both trinitarian and unitarian. In November 2006, the Society underwent re-organisation. The Catholic elements of the Society were re-constituted as the Religious Society of St Simon. Meanwhile, the more explicitly ecumenical and interfaith elements continued a separate existence as the Society for Humanistic Potential. Today, the Religious Society of St. Simon is a dependent religious society of the LCAC. Membership is free of charge and open to professed Christians who publicly support the Society's aims and wish to commit themselves to its principles. Associate Membership is open to those of any faith who recognise the common people, situations and beliefs that transcend the religions and the common origins of those beliefs. Membership is open to both clergy and laity and the understanding of the term "Catholic" is interpreted widely across denominational barriers. Members of the Society use the postnominal letters RSStS and recieve a certificate of membership.
