Old Catholic Diocese of the Southeast
Our Diocese as a Local Church
"For you I am bishop, but with you I am Christian;
one is an office, accepted;
the other is a gift, received.
One is danger; the other is safety.
If I am happier to be redeemed with you
than to be placed over you,
then I shall, as the Lord commanded,
be more fully your servant."
-St. Augustine, 354-430 A.D., Initial Address to the Eleven Clergy of Hippo
