March, 2000 – McClean, Virginia, USA

“Objectives established for the conversations: 1) to enable Anglicans and Baptists to learn from each other and to deepen understanding of relationships between the two communions in the light of their histories; 2) to share with each how to understand the Christian faith and to work towards a common confession of the apostolic faith; 3) to identify issues of doctrine and the nature of the church to be explored further in possible future conversations; 4) to look for ways to cooperate in mission and community activities, and to increase our fellowship and common witness to the gospel”
