Working Together in England and the UK

Working towards the unity of the Church at home

The Church of England works with a wide range of other Churches in England and through the UK. The work takes the form of:

  • Entering into special agreements with other Churches, committing us to work closely at local and national levels.
  • Working formally with other Churches, especially to encourage mission and other initiatives.
  • Informal conversations and relationship building with other Churches.
