The Evangelical Catholic Church professes two creeds: the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed.[5] Its theology differs from that of the Roman Catholic Church in that it permits both men and women, married as well as unmarried, to become deacons, priests and bishops; accepts gay marriage; encourages divorced and remarried worshipers to receive Communion; and allows birth control.[2]
