Old in tradition, modern in outlook.
Welcome to The Liberal Catholic Church of St Stephens International
At The Liberal Catholic Church of St Stephens International we are a small sacramental Christian family: rooted in the ancient Catholic tradition yet modern and open in outlook.
We welcome all who seek God, especially those who have felt pushed to the margins – young people, rough sleepers, people in addiction or recovery, disabled people and the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Our life is shaped by the Great Commandments and Great Commission of Jesus: to love God, to love our neighbour, and to share the good news in word and action.
We currently serve communities in Wales, Sweden and elsewhere through local chaplaincies, online worship and practical outreach.

Our Team
The Rt Reverend Ryan Peter James Cleminson
Bishop Ryan’s ministry brings together pastoral care, public service and social advocacy. A founding figure of The Liberal Catholic Church of Saint Stephens International, he places compassion, inclusion and practical service at the centre of church life. His work has included advocacy concerning homelessness, disability, neurodiversity, mental-health services and safeguarding. He believes episcopal leadership means being accessible, listening carefully and standing alongside people facing hardship.
The Reverend Morgan Norman Frank
Reverend Morgan serves the Church through pastoral ministry, clergy formation and ecclesiastical administration. As Bishop-Elect of the Nordic Territories, he is preparing for episcopal oversight and spiritual leadership. As Director of Formation and Chancellor to the Presiding Bishop, he supports those preparing for ministry and assists with the governance and wider affairs of the Church. His ministry is grounded in reverence, charity, dignity and pastoral care.
Kristoffer Frank
Kristoffer serves as a non-clerical member of the Church Council. Living in Delsbo, Sweden, with his husband Father Morgan, he brings his experience as a nurse and his calm, reflective spirituality to the life of the church, helping to shape decisions, support pastoral care, and ensure that lay voices are heard and valued. He reminds the church that everyday kindness, listening and simple prayer matter deeply to God.
