Ecumenical Relations - Admission to Holy Communion

Admission to Holy Communion (Canon B15A)

Baptised and communicant members of churches which subscribe to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and who are in good standing with their own church and any other baptised persons authorised to be admitted under regulations of the General Synod, shall be admitted to the Holy Communion. When anyone regularly receives Communion over a long period under the provisions of Canon B15A the parish priest is required to set before him or her the normal requirements of the Church of England for every communicant, and they should be invited to come forward to confirmation by the Bishop.

Any baptised person in immediate danger of death may be given communion.

An Anglican congregation may participate in a joint service on a special occasion, on the recommendation of the Incumbent and PCC. Individuals may receive communion as their consciences allow. If there is any doubt the Area Bishop should be consulted.

No minister or licensed lay person of another denomination may officiate at any Anglican service, except with the permission of the Area Bishop.
