Information:  - The Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue Between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church was established by the Holy See and 14 autocephalous Orthodox churches.  - The Christian Church is a term generally used to refer to the whole group of people belonging to the Christian religious tradition throughout history. In this understanding, the "Christian Church" does not refer to a particular Christian denomination but to the body of all believers. Some Christians believe that the term "Christian Church" or "Church" applies only to a specific historic Christian institution (e.g., the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Oriental Orthodoxy). The Four Marks of the Church first expressed in the Nicene Creed are unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity.  - The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with more than 1.27 billion members worldwide. As one of the oldest religious institutions in the world, it has played a prominent role in the history of Western civilisation. Headed by the Bishop of Rome, known as the pope, its doctrines are summarised in the Nicene Creed. The Catholic Church is notable within Western Christianity for its sacred tradition and seven sacraments.  - Warren Prall Watters (November 24, 1890  June 15, 1992) was the founding archbishop of the Free Church of Antioch (Malabar Rite), one of several Independent Catholic Churches.  - Apostolic succession is the method whereby the ministry of the Christian Church is held to be derived from the apostles by a continuous succession, which has usually been associated with a claim that the succession is through a series of bishops. This series was seen originally as that of the bishops of a particular see founded by one or more of the apostles. According to historian Justo L. González, apostolic succession is generally understood today as meaning a series of bishops, regardless of see, each consecrated by other bishops, themselves consecrated similarly in a succession going back to the apostles. But, according to documentation produced by the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue Between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, the sees ("cathedrae") play "an important role in inserting the bishop into the heart of ecclesial apostolicity".  - Justo L. González (born August 9, 1937) is a Cuban American Methodist historian and theologian. He is a prolific author and an influential contributor to the development of Latino/Latina (or Hispanic) theology. His wife, Catherine Gunsalus González, is a Professor Emerita at Columbia Theological Seminary, and the two have co-authored several books.  - The episcopate is the collective body of all the bishops of a church. The term is also used to refer to the status or term in office of an individual bishop.  - The Free Church of Antioch is one of several Malabar Rite Independent Catholic Churches which claims valid lines of apostolic succession in the historical episcopate . The Free Church of Antioch received several lines of this succession through its founder , the late Archbishop Warren Prall Watters ( 1890 - 1992 ) . The Free Church of Antioch was established on October 4 , 1992 , in Santa Barbara , California , and was incorporated in that state through The Center For Esoteric Studies , of which Archbishop Watters was the Founder and Director . The church 's most important Line of Succession is derived from the Old Catholic Church of Utrecht in the Netherlands . This is important for Independent Catholics , as many hundreds of `` wandering bishops '' or Episcopi vagantes , derive their succession from this church . Some Roman Catholic scholars hold that the Orders of the Old Catholics are valid but illicit . Archbishop Herman Adrian Spruit , founder of the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch - Malabar Rite , consecrated Warren P. Watters to the Episcopate on April 28 , 1973 , at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Santa Barbara , California . Assisting Archbishop Spruit as co-consecrators were The Most Reverend Stephan A. Hoeller of the Ecclesia Gnostica , and The Most Reverend Jay D. Kirby . In 1986 Warren Watters was elevated to Archbishop and become Director of Esoteric Studies for the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch . He edited and compiled three magazines which culminated in The Esoteric Review . He founded The Center for Esoteric Studies , Inc. , a California religious non-profit corporation . Watters , along with Bishops Robert Branch and Torkom Saraydarian , eventually separated from Herman Spruit , believing that they needed a freer confederation to operate their own ministries . These separations came as a result of certain actions resulting from the reorganization of the mother church , the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch . Shortly before his death at the age of 102 , Watters founded the...  - A cathedra (Latin, "chair", from Greek,  "kathédra", "seat") or bishop's throne is the seat of a bishop. It is a symbol of the bishop's teaching authority in the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Communion churches. "Cathedra" is the Latin word for a chair with armrests, and it appears in early Christian literature in the phrase ""cathedrae apostolorum"", indicating authority derived directly from the apostles; its Roman connotations of authority reserved for the Emperor were later adopted by bishops after the 4th century. A church into which a bishop's official "cathedra" is installed is called a cathedral.
