Please note:
This is a work-in-progress. We are adding the scanned documents from the archive to this database, but there is considerable work to be done. Access to the complete archive for each dialogue commission is also available.
A small joint consultation established by the Anglican Consultative Council and the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity to consider “to what extent and in what ways churches with women priests and churches without women priests can be reconciled in sacramental fellowship”. The consultation held one meeting in February 1978 at Versailles, France.
This page lists all documents added to the IARCCUM.org site in order by original publication date. In addition to the documents prepared for the dialogue commissions, there are a number of additional documents that are included because of their relevance to the dialogues.
Like many archives, the IARCCUM.org archive employs a 30-year embargo policy for unpublished documents. This includes minutes, correspondence, draft texts and notes, as well as study papers. Embargoed documents do not appear in this list. Published materials include the agreed statements, reports, communiqués, and journal articles, all of which are available as soon as they are added to the archive.
Selected news articles may be included in the archive when they form part of the documentary record. See the news index for the broader website news archive.
