ISM Clergy Resources

 
Supporting Those Serving the Independent Sacramental Movement
Priestess

🌿 Welcome

This section of IndependentSacramental.org is dedicated to providing formation, guidance, and practical tools for clergy within the Independent Sacramental Movement (ISM).


Whether you are newly ordained, discerning a call to ministry, or have served for decades, these resources are designed to support your spiritual, theological, and pastoral growth.

​

🙏 For Priests, Deacons, and Bishops

Our movement includes clergy from a wide range of jurisdictions — Old Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Continuing, and Independent Catholic traditions — united by a shared commitment to the sacramental life and pastoral service.


Here you will find (and soon find even more) materials to help you:

  • Deepen your understanding of sacramental theology and pastoral ministry

  • Strengthen your community’s liturgical and catechetical life

  • Access formation outlines, pastoral templates, and sample policies

  • Explore canonical, spiritual, and practical aspects of ministry in the ISM

​

📘 Available Resources (with More Coming Soon)

Currently, this section is in development.  We hope to soon include:

  • Guides for Clergy Formation

  • Marriage Preparation Frameworks

  • Liturgical and Sacramental Planning Aids

  • Recommended Reading Lists and Study Tools

 

Many more topics are in development — including spiritual formation guides, pastoral care materials, and canonical governance templates.

⚙️ This page is a work in progress.
New materials will be added regularly as we continue to gather, write, and adapt content for ISM clergy.
