IARCCUM catalogue

IARCCUM is a commission established by the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church as an official joint commission. IARCCUM exists in parallel with the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, the theological commission known as ARCIC. IARCCUM’s purpose is:

• to facilitate the development of strategies for translating the degree of spiritual communion that has been achieved into visible and practical outcomes;
• to promote and monitor the formal response and reception of the agreed statements of ARCIC;
• to strengthen relations between ARCIC and national Anglican-Roman Catholic Commissions (ARCs), and between different national ARCs, providing support and resources in order to foster an exchange of information and practice;
• to encourage Anglican Provinces and Roman Catholic Episcopal Conferences to establish ARC dialogues where they do not exist;
• to encourage Anglican and Roman Catholic bishops to develop projects and programmes of joint witness and mission in the world.
