The United Church of Canada | L'Église Unie de Canada
In 2019, after two years of conversations between clergy, church historians, and lay leaders and the passing of the Full Communion agreement by both denominations' governing bodies, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and The United Church of Canada celebrated Full Communion with a special service on World Communion Sunday at Broadway Disciples United Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Both denominations adopted these five marks of Full Communion:
- common confession of Christ;
- mutual recognition of members;
- common celebration of the Lord's Supper;
- mutual recognition of ordained ministry; and
- common commitment to mission.
