Bonn Agreement (religion)

Bonn Agreement (religion)

The Bonn Agreement of 1931 is a document that established full communion between the Church of England and the Old Catholic Churches of the Union of Utrecht, including the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands. This full communion has since been extended to all members of the Anglican Communion through the synods.

It incorporates three statements:

# Each Communion recognizes the catholicity and independence of the other and maintains its own.
# Each Communion agrees to admit members of the other Communion to participate in the Sacraments.
# Full Communion does not require from either Communion the acceptance of all doctrinal opinion, sacramental devotion or liturgical practice characteristic of the other, but implies that each believes the other to hold all the essentials of the Christian faith.

To monitor the progressive growing together of the two Communions, the Anglican/Old Catholic International Co-ordinating Council was established by the International Bishops' Conference and the Lambeth Conference. Its first official meeting took place in 1999.
