Address We Too Have Common Sense: The Waterloo Declaration and Full Communion in Canada

Recent studies of Anglican-Lutheran agreements on full communion have tended to focus on agreements in Europe and the United States. This address to a gathering of Anglican and Lutheran historians tracks development of the third full communion agreement, "The Waterloo Declaration of Full Communion" between Canadian Anglicans and Lutherans in 2001. The Canadian agreement owes more to the approach of the Porvoo Agreement than to "Called to Common Mission," and offers a way forward in those places where Anglicans and Lutherans serve in close proximity and in existing shared ministries.
