Liberal Catholic Church International
The Liberal Catholic Church International (LCCI) is a Christian church with headquarters based in the United States. The Church traces its founding to Jesus and the Twelve Apostles and sees the Bishops of the Church as the successors of the Apostles. While it derives its Apostolic Succession from the Old Catholic Church, the LCCI is today not in full communion with either the Utrecht Union, or the Roman Catholic Church, and differs with them theologically in several important respects.
As of 2008, the LCCI has parishes in Africa, North America, Australia, and Europe.
