The Inter-Anglican Standing Commission on Unity, Faith and Order (IASCUFO) is one of the main places where the Anglican Communion does its theological and ecclesiological reflection. It is a permanent commission of the Anglican Communion and reports to the Instruments of Communion. Full information about IASCUFO is available on the Anglican Communion website here. Its brief is to advise the Instruments and member churches on matters of doctrine, ecclesiology, liturgy, canon law, and ecumenical relations. IASCUFO is a wide-ranging and representative group, involving members from different parts of the Anglican Communion in Africa, Asia, South and North America, Europe, and Australia.

IASCUFO’s mandate is to:

• Promote the deepening of Communion between the Churches of the Anglican Communion, and between those Churches and the other churches and traditions of the Christian oikumene
• Advise the Provinces and the Instruments of Communion on all questions of ecumenical engagement, proposals for national, regional or international ecumenical agreement or schemes of co-operation and unity, as well as on questions touching Anglican Faith and Order
• Review developments in the areas of faith, order or unity in the Anglican Communion and among ecumenical partners, and to give advice to the Churches of the Anglican Communion or to the Instruments of Communion upon them, with the intention to promote common understanding, consistency, and convergence both in Anglican Communion affairs, and in ecumenical engagement
• Assist any Province with the assessment of new proposals in the areas of Unity, Faith and Order as requested.
