The "Apostolic Churches" (our own Church and the Orthodox Churches), which have valid apostolic succession, make a fairly big deal out of this connection of ours to the apostles. Unfortunately, not every Christian has the same attitudes towards it, thinking that the concept is "unimportant" or even destructive. Others make false claims of having this connection to the first Christians. In any case, it's certainly worthy of discussion.
What do we all think of this Succession? How important is it that a Church have it? What do we say it even means? How do you go about showing the proofs for our claim to have it and its very importance?
