Margaret and Jim have been married for 35 years and have four children and one grandchild.

How Does an Episcopal Priest Be a Lutheran Pastor As Well?

Full communion is when two denominations develop a
relationship based on a common confessing of the Christian faith
and a mutual recognition of Baptism and sharing of the Lord’s
Supper. This does not mean the two denominations merge; rather,
in reaching agreements, denominations also respect differences.

These denominations worship together, may exchange clergy and
also share a commitment to evangelism, witness and service in the
world. Each entity agrees that even with differences, there is
nothing that is church-dividing.
