They are a federation of several independent national Churches in Europe and North America united in the Union of Utrecht on the basis of the faith of the undivided Church of the first ten
centuries. They are thus definitely Catholic in faith, order and worship but reject the Papal claims of infallibility and supremacy. They are in full communion with the Churches of the Anglican
Communion. They have participated in the World Council of Churches since its beginning and have an official dialogue with both the Orthodox Churches and the Roman Catholic Church.
Among them the Archbishop of Utrecht holds a primacy of honour not dissimilar to that accorded in the Anglican Communion to the Archbishop of Canterbury. [ eng ] |
