"We cannot deny that the Sacrament of Holy Communion is a means, and, one any adequate doctrine of the Eucharist, the primary means, of all grace. Communion with our Lord in his Body and Blood is, indeed, the goal of holiness; but it is also the primary means toward the attainment of holiness, for in it we receive the grace which sanctifies. It is likewise the goal of unity; but also the means towards the attainment of unity. .... Intercommunion between those who intend to seek the grace of unity is not an optional extra but a paramount obligation. It is not merely something permissible; it is an urgent and compelling duty. Growth into unity is bound to be gradual, but unless growth together in sacramental worship is at the heart of the process there is not hope that it can ever be achieved. Reunion is the coming together of worshipping communities in the Spirit of Christ. It is not an act of ecclesiastical diplomacy or of academic theological debate". -- p. 19.

Following its approval by Inter-Church and Inter-Faith Relations in November, 1985 the National Executive Council agreed to forward this statement to the World Council of Churches as the 'initial response' of the Anglican Church of Canada". -- p. 21.
