| Introduction | +Bishop Russell is the Metropolitan Bishop of the Trinitarian Catholic Church (TCC). The TCC is a progressive, autocephalous Catholic Jurisdiction in Apostolic Succession. We include ourselves among a growing list of emerging Catholic faith communities that are not in "perfect" union with the See of Rome. +Bishop Russell founded the Franciscans of Divine Providence (FDP) in 1995. The FDP is a canonical, non-residential, ministerial, religious Order for men and women of the Trinitarian Catholic Church, which is guided by a Franciscan charism. The Jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Diocese of Hope includes the New England states, New York, New Jersey and Missouri (USA). Our Church and our Order are open and affirming to people from all walks of life. We work to repair God's House, in the spirit of St. Francis: one Stone at a time! Through a Gospel life that is lived among God's people, we seek to build bridges that unite all people of faith. |
