In 2000 the Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America began a relationship of full communion based on the document ‚Called to Common Mission.‘ This momentous agreement, bringing together the reformed and catholic traditions, came after years of discussion and some resistance. As the possibilities for living and working together evolve across all levels of these two churches‘ lives, there will inevitably arise many questions about the details–from shared worship and mission initiatives to interchangeability in deploying clergy. Discovering Common Mission is a collection of essays that address the issues.
