In July, 2001, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the Anglican Church of Canada signed the Waterloo Declaration establishing a relationship of full communion between them. Find information about their joint projects here.
On the 20th anniversary of the signing of The Waterloo Declaration, Archbishop Linda Nicholls and Bishop Susan Johnson speak of what Full Communion means to them in a video found here.
Resources and guidance for your congregation to commemorate the Waterloo Declaration are available in the toolkit found here.
