Old Catholic ministry traditionally develops through the personal skills and talents of the individual clergyman rather than from a centralised ministry plan. The ministry is often a source of commitment for the clergyman in question and something clergy has been involved in for many years. Sometimes the ministry is a new development. In the United Kingdom there is evidence of partnership working between orthodox Old Catholic groups through an umbrella organisation known as couspp.
