Reciprocal Acts of Intercommunion

Movers Renfrey, L.E.W.

That in view of Resolution No. 47 passed by the Lambeth Conference of 1968, the General Synod gives its approval to the recommendation that where there is an agreement between an Anglican Church and some other Church or Churches to seek unity in a way which includes agreement on apostolic faith and order, and where that agreement to seek unity in a way which includes agreement on apostolic faith and order, and where that agreement to seek unity has been found expression, whether in a covenant to unit or in some other appropriate form, a Church of the Anglican Communion should be free to allow reciprocal acts of intercommunion under the general direction of the Bishop; the General Synod to determine when the negotiations for union have reached the stage which allows this intercommunion.
