Archbishop Protector Emeritus of TISCC - Archbishop Harry Aveling
On the 26th of August 2023, at a meeting of the Clerical Synod of The Inclusive Sacramental Church of Christ, The Most Rev David Jones was elected to the position of Bishop Protector of TISCC within the Australian Church of Antioch.
The Liturgy states: "It appertains to a Bishop to consecrate, to ordain, to offer sacrifice, to anoint, to bless, to loose and to bind, to baptize and confirm, to preside, to interpret and to judge." May he especially be blessed in the work of interpreting and judging, a gentle father to all his people. Archbishop Harry Aveling |

Diploma in Religious Studies (Liberal Catholic Institute of Studies) Archbishop David is the Qld. representative Archbishop for ACoA. T.I.S.C.C. Auxiliary Bishop for Australia Pastor of the Parish of St. Raphael the Healer, Brisbane Registered Marriage Celebrant David Jones was consecrated to the Episcopacy on Saturday 29th January 2022 in St Peter's College, Brisbane, Queensland. Throughout his time in Orders, David has (not-so) quietly agitated for equality in the delivery of our Sacraments ... such that all seven of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are offered to any and every person, regardless of gender or lifestyle, as long as they approach same with due reverence and respect, and this led him to leave the Liberal Catholic Church in May 2020, and join the Liberal Catholic Church International, founding the Community of St Raphael the Healer with his wife and Priest, Vicki and the two of them conduct the service of the Mass each Sunday at 9.30AM at their home in Brisbane. The Community of St Raphael the Healer offers a sung Holy Eucharist at 9.30AM Brisbane time through the pages of Facebook. All who come are invited to bring their own elements and follow the rubrics with the celebrant. While it is a closed group, that’s only a Facebook technicality, and new members are always welcome upon application. Just send a request to join. Other services include Sacramental Healing, Baptisms, Funerals and Weddings. These services are offered in private homes, hospitals and other places on request. The parish aims through persistent community engagement and outreach to continue the work of our Master Christ and to further His work in the world. Go to the T.I.S.C.C.

Reverend Mother Vicki Jones B.A., Grad Dip Information Management, Diploma in Religious Studies (Liberal Catholic Institute of Studies)
Parish of St. Raphael The Healer, Brisbane Registered Marriage Celebrant Rev Mother Vicki was ordained to the Priesthood on Sunday 30th January 2022. When they were teenagers, Vicki said to David ... you should be in Holy Orders, and he was ordained a priest 42 years later. And while Vicki had been wholly supportive of him, she’d not really thought she’d have a vocation until she saw David growing into his role as a Priest. However, Vicki was not interested in a role as a Deaconess in the Liberal Catholic Church, as such is a religious order, but not a bible-based Holy Order. So Vicki left the LCC, and started working towards orders under Bishop Harry Aveling of the Liberal Catholic Church International, a church with the same amazing Liturgy and same values, but which would extend to her the same rights to serve Our Lord in Holy Orders as were afforded to her husband David in the LCC. Vicki was ordained to the Diaconate in October 2019 under the hand of Bishop Harry Aveling at a service in Brisbane attended by some thirty family and friends. Like other clergy, her role is voluntary and over her life she has worked largely in the public sector, serving the needs of the less-advantaged in federal departments such as Aboriginal and Torres Straits Island Health, Health and Ageing, and similar departments where her passion for serving the needs of others could find a natural home. |

Anthony has had a lifelong passion for God, and has been fascinated by spirituality, religion, and esotericism, in all their varied forms. He was raised in a Pentecostal Church, and since an early age has explored a range of Western Spiritualities, including Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and Rosicrucianism, and Eastern Religions before realising that all of these things were to be grounded and integrated in the person of Jesus Christ, and His bride, the Church. He completed his undergraduate degree, majoring in Studies in Religion and Asian Studies, at the University of Sydney in 2006. |
