Ecumenical/Interfaith Connections

The Episcopal Church is in full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and with the Moravian Church.

We have an interim Eucharistic sharing agreement with the United Methodist Church.

The international Anglican-Orthodox Dialogue met in Buffalo in September 2015.

Bishop Franklin and Bishop Malone, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Buffalo worked together on many issues in the region and issued two joint pastoral letters.
