Leadership in the Convergent Catholic Communion grows out of service, not status. We expect our leaders to carry themselves with humility, restraint, and steadiness. Authority here is meant to protect the flock, nurture vocations, guard the faith, and strengthen community. It is not meant to elevate personalities or create distance between leaders and the people they serve. Our bishops and council members listen before they speak, collaborate before they command, and discern before they act. They share responsibility, submit to oversight, and refuse the kind of isolation that has weakened so many movements. Their work is pastoral at its core. They guide clergy, support communities, uphold our canons, and help the Communion remain grounded in Scripture, Tradition, and the living presence of the Holy Spirit. In everything, they aim to lead with integrity, transparency, and faithfulness, because healthy leadership creates a healthy Communion.

​We know many who come to us carry both devotion and disappointment. Some arrive weary from instability, shifting jurisdictions, sudden dissolutions, and leaders who operated without accountability. Others come with a genuine call, yet feel they have never received the formation, support, or community they needed to flourish. We see you. We understand the hope that drew you into sacramental ministry, and we understand the wounds that sometimes followed. What you will find here is different. Our leadership is conciliar and accountable. Our bishops serve within a system of mutual oversight; they do not stand alone, and they do not build personal empires. Clergy are formed, mentored, and accompanied. Decisions are made in community, not in the shadows. We honor the gifts you bring, but we also offer the structure and stability needed for those gifts to grow. If you are coming from the ISM with questions, hesitations, or hopes, you will find a Communion ready to walk with you at a pace that is honest, patient, and grounded in Christ.
