YOUNGRITEUSA

The Young Rite is an international sacramental Church founded on June 6th, 2006 by Bishop Marcus van Alphen. The Young Rite is part of the Liberal Catholic Church tradition founded by Bishops James Ingall Wedgwood & later by Charles Webster Leadbeater in 1916... The Young Rite wishes to be a channel for the beneficent influence of Christ. We believe that the Christ power dwells in everything and in all the peoples of the earth. Irrespective the seeming differences between human beings, each and every one is endowed with the possibility to become a creator, to fulfill their own lives, to follow their own unique, yet valid path to spiritual unfoldment. The seven traditional Christian sacraments are meant as an aid along the way: They are neither essential nor necessary requirements. The sacraments are given freely to all who in reverence ask for them.
