| | In view of Porvoo communion the most important document is the ecclesiological text "The Church of Jesus Christ" (1995) which extensively spells out the understanding of the church and ministry in the Leuenberg group. | | | For instance, the LWF communion implies that the Finnish church is in communion with the Lutheran territorial churches of the German Evangelical Church (EKD), but not with the United territorial churches in Germany. | | | The LWF, the Porvoo communion and the World Council of Churches have employed the biblical and patristic concept of koinonia in order to describe their self-understanding. |

| | THE PORVOO ACT OF SYNOD |
| | Through the Porvoo Declaration the Nordic and Baltic churches have entered a new relationship with the Church of England, with a Church of England which was already committed to this process of living with diversity and tolerance when the Porvoo Declaration was completed and signed. | | | Within~ this one ecumenical movement Rome itself, no less than any other communion, is a church seeking to be truly catholic, as well of course as holy and apostolic within the visible unity of the one Church of Jesus Christ. | | | In all churches there are a number of practices which fall short of what we believe to be appropriate in a church fully faithful to the gospel. |

| | In response to the request by the Porvoo church leaders' consultation in Turku in 1998, which had designated the theme 'Diversity in Communion', the delegates focused on a possible common understanding of unity and common mission. | | | The six day residential conference gathered representatives from the Porvoo churches who through their professional background, their office or the responsibility they hold take a leading role in the doctrinal work of their church. | | | The Porvoo Agreement calls us to 'a deepening of fellowship, to new steps on the way to visible unity and a new coherence in our common witness in word and deed to one Lord, one faith and one baptism' (paragraph 29). |

| | The most important relationship that includes some member churches but not others is the Porvoo agreement, to which the Church of England, the Church of Ireland, the Church in Wales, and the Scottish Episcopal Church are signatories, but to which the other member churches of the Anglican Communion are not. | | | Note that a member church of the Anglican Communion can be in full communion with a non-Anglican church, without having the entire Anglican Communion share that relationship. | | | The PIC is also fully in communion with all other churches in communion with the see of Canterbury. |

| | When the Porvoo Agreement was signed people in her home parish asked her to stand for election to their PCC; she was duly elected; the other councillors then elected her as their chairperson. | | | And tens of thousands of lay people from all the Porvoo countries have experienced sharing in worship in their sister churches abroad when they have been on holiday, or taking an active part in parish life abroad when work or studies have caused them to leave their homeland. | | | An example of this is the Porvoo Church Leaders Consultation held in Tallinn, Estonia earlier this year when lay and clerical representatives met to discuss “Church leadership in a changing world”. |

| | Porvoo Communion Consultation on Inter Faith Relations |
| | In these circumstances, it is essential that there should be candid and positive dialogue within our communion's churches, and with fellow Christians in our ecumenical partner churches, to complement and resource our dialogue with people of other faiths, beliefs and spiritualities. | | | In our reading together of scripture, we have found that the interaction of its texts with our contexts can at times highlight the diversity of views among us, and we recognise that Christian reflection on inter faith encounter is likely to continue to be a contested area in both our traditions for the foreseeable future. | | | When as Christians we encounter people of other faiths, beliefs and spiritualities, we do so in the name and the strength of the God whom we know as Trinity. |

| | The Anglican Communion has established a theological consultation which is addressing the implications of polygamy for the doctrine of the Church as the Bride of Christ. | | | A Danish woman priest could then, no doubt, be encouraged to come up with a feminist defence of both polygamy and polyandry. | | | Then we will need an Archbishop's Commission, which will ensure that, in theory at least, safeguards are in place throughout the Communion for those who cannot accept the new doctrine. |
