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.
Since 1965, the Episcopal Church and the Roman Catholic Church have been engaged in an official bilateral dialogue sponsored by the two churches, the Anglican-Roman Catholic Theological Consultation in the United States of America, sometimes known as ARCUSA. As a part of this dialogue, ARCUSA has produced a number of statements and reports on important theological subjects of concern to the two churches, often building on and responding to the work of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) established in 1967.
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.
News articles are not generally included in the dialogue collection. See the news index to access these materials.
