ARCUSA fonds

1965-

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.

Like many archives, the IARCCUM.org archive employs a 30-year embargo policy for unpublished documents.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.
