Holy Communion

Movers Browning, G.V.

That this Synod, conscious of the imperative for Christian unity, affirms and resolves:

(i) that Christians are in communion with God through the self giving love of Christ;

(ii) that through communion with Christ, we are drawn into communion with one another;

(iii) that the sacrament of Holy Communion is a celebration of the communion we have in Christ;

(iv) that we encourage all Anglicans to continue welcoming baptised Christians who are communicant
members of another Church which professes the Apostolic faith to celebrations of Holy Communion and also to participate in the Holy Communion of other Christian denominations where invited; and

(v) that we encourage all Christian denominations to welcome baptised Christians who are communicant
members of their own denominations to celebrations of Holy Communion in their churches as a celebration of true catholicity.
