Working together for unity

Work with other Christian Churches

As part of the whole Church of God, the Church of England seeks to work with other Churches and make visible our unity. We believe that by working with other Churches, we can have a greater impact in our communities and on society as a whole. We are committed to joining with others in discipleship, witness to the Good News and worship of God.

The Council for Christian Unity supports the Archbishop of Canterbury's ecumenical ministry, in collaboration with staff at Lambeth Palace. For more information on their work over the last year please read The Church of England's Ecumenical Relations: Annual Report for 2019 released jointly by Lambeth Palace and Council for Christian Unity in January 2020.
