Roman Catholic Church
The Roman Catholics are the oldest ecumenical partners of the Anglican and Episcopal Churches. Dialogues between these two traditions gained new impetus after the Second Vatican Council, resulting in the formation of international and local ecumenical commissions.
The Episcopal Church participates in the international Anglican-Roman Catholic International Consultation (ARCIC) sponsored by the Anglican Communion Office as well as the Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue in the United States (ARC-USA).
