| | Full Communion with Lutherans |
 | | Adoption of "Called to Common Mission" shows the world a new way to be one in Christ. | | | Our faithful witness to the Gospel will be strengthened as we "recognize in each other the essentials of the one catholic and apostolic faith" ("Called to Common Mission," paragraph 4). | | | This means that the Episcopal Church is now, as of today, in full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on the basis of a shared ministry in the historic episcopate and for the sake of common mission in proclaiming and serving the Gospel. |

| | Christian Century: Lutherans consider ordination compromise - Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Episcopal Church - Brief Article |
| | Daniel Martensen, the Lutherans' ecumenical liaison, cautioned that the compromise could cause concern in the Episcopal Church "that we might be undermining [Called to Common Mission]." | | | The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has proposed a compromise to pastors who object to ordination rules under a new full-communion agreement with the Episcopal Church. | | | The ELCA's Conference of Bishops, meeting in Chicago October 5-10, offered a proposal that will be considered in mid-November by the ELCA Church Council, which serves as the church's board of directors between biennial churchwide assemblies. |

| | National Catholic Reporter: Episcopalians, Evangelical Lutherans attain full unity - Brief Article |
| | Under "Called to Common Mission," the Episcopal church has temporarily suspended the application to the ELCA of the Anglican Ordinal's prohibition against exercise of ordained ministry by anyone not ordained by a bishop in the historic episcopate. | | | While some Lutheran churches have continued having their pastors ordained by bishops in the historic episcopate, others have not, and Lutherans do not see the historic episcopate as an essential mark of the church. | | | Three of the ELCA's full communion partners -- the Episcopal church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the United Church of Christ -- are part of the consultation, which plans to enter a major new phase in its relationship next year with a mutual recognition of ministries by all member churches. |

| | The Spanish mission was a frontier institution that sought to incorporate indigenous people into the Spanish colonial empire, its Catholic religion, and certain aspects of its Hispanic culture through the formal establishment or recognition of sedentary Indian communities entrusted to the tutelage of missionaries under the protection and control of the Spanish state. | | | As the number of permanent Spanish military forces in the area was reduced during most of the crucial eighteenth century, the Spanish adopted the French Indian policy, which called for developing alliances with the stronger Indian groups through trade or pacts against common enemies. | | | These two mission efforts were described in the 1790s as never having succeeded in attracting the Indians to true Christian conversion and loyalty to the Spanish state. |
