PHILIPPINES: CONCORDAT BETWEEN EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND INDEPENDENT CHURCH

(ACNS) On 17 February Bishops of the Philippine Independent Church and
the Episcopal Church in the Philippines signed a Concordat of Full
Communion between the two Churches.  The Concordat was hailed as
historically significant by world church leaders and is seen to have
far-reaching implications of the wider ecumenical fellowship of
Churches.  The two Churches already share a theological college in
Quezon City which was the place of the signing.
