Zero Tolerance Policy

As an emerging church, we must be aware of recent events in the United States and other parts of the world that have made it absolutely necessary for credible faith communities to publish a policy that is makes it clear for all members of the community, clergy and faithful alike, that ZERO tolerance is the only acceptable standard for issues of inappropriate misconduct by the clergy. This church will NOT allow sex offenders to remain active clergy, religious sisters or brothers, staff or volunteer. We have adopted, herewith, a working and official policy of The Inclusive Catholic Church regarding sexual misconduct of clergy, religious, employees, regular volunteers, seminarians, and candidates for ordination and/or incardination.
