Having freely received the Sacraments from Jesus, the Christ, the Church is morally bound to give them freely to the world to anyone who asks …. Any organization that shuts members or would be members out because they decline to enter a restricted theological cage is not universal, all inclusive, catholic….
Of course, the Church of Antioch does not question the right of any organization to forbid intellectual and religious liberty to its members, but we do claim that such limitation is in opposition to true catholicity.
Patriarch and Founder, Herman Adrian Spruit, 1911-1994
