(July 2025) Suggested Reference List
All of the following texts are in the public domain and are free to download. Some are more than 100 years old and may read as very outdated, literal, non-objective, or traditional.
They comprise the Cross Denominational Mission (Evangelical), Catholic, Orthodox, and Uniate aspects of the OCAC but have not been mandated nor approved as to be required. They may also be thought of as constant references, rather than just a one-time use document.
