Convergent Streams: The Magazine of the Old Catholic Churches International Spring 2026 Edition

Convergent Streams returns after a six-year hiatus with a powerful and timely edition that refuses to look away from one of the defining moral crises of our time. First published in 2013, this journal of Old Catholic thought, theology, and social engagement is back with a renewed sense of urgency and purpose.

This landmark return edition centers on the global immigration crisis, bringing together pastoral reflection, theological grounding, and on-the-ground advocacy. Readers will find a From the Editor letter from Presiding Bishop Greer Godsey, OSFoc, that sets the tone with unflinching clarity: the treatment of immigrants and refugees is not a political question but a moral one, and the Old Catholic Churches International will not be silent.

Inside this edition:

• Veritas Manifesta: A Covenant of Empathy and Tactical Defense by Father Ricardo Romero, OSFoc, Director of the Office of Faith, Justice, and Humanitarian Efforts, laying out a bold, faith-rooted framework for community preparation and immigrant solidarity.
• Faith in Action: A Catholic Vision for the Office of Faith, Justice, and Humanitarian Efforts, exploring how the Church’s social teaching calls believers beyond the walls of the sanctuary and into the streets, shelters, and lives of the most vulnerable.
• Reports and reflections from the Latino Community Action Forum 2026, documenting the growing movement toward unity among social justice organizations across the Sacramento area and the urgent questions that movement must still confront.
• And much more!

This edition is written for people of faith, activists, clergy, and anyone who believes that the Gospel demands more than good intentions. Convergent Streams has always been a place where theology and justice meet. It is good to be back.
