Cyprus Agreement

I'm searching for a copy of the Anglican-Orthodox dialogue's The Church of the Truine God: The Cyprus Agreed Statement to make available to the diocese. It is not currently available online, though it can be purchased from Church House Publishing in England.

[Note 5/15: I now have a copy through a friend. It can be ordered through Episcopal Books and Resources here, though mine has yet to arrive even after a few weeks of waiting.]

Bonn Agreement of 1931

Ecumenical Agreement between Anglicans and the Old Catholic Churches, which incorporates these three principles:

1. Each Communion recognizes the catholicity and independence of the other and maintains its own.
2. Each Communion agrees to admit members of the other Communion to participate in the Sacraments.
3. Full Communion does not require from either Communion the acceptance of all doctrinal opinion, sacramental devotion or liturgical practice characteristic of the other, but implies that each believes the other to hold all the essentials of the Christian faith.
