Anglicans, Lutherans, Roman Catholics, and Ukrainian Catholics are going to be worshipping and ministering together, despite their differences in traditions and beliefs.

The four denominations will be finding new ways to grow in faith together in Saskatchewan thanks to the recent signing of an all-embracing covenant, reports the Anglican Journal.

10 dioceses and other church bodies of the four denominations came together to sign the LAURC Covenant and pledged to move forward in a shared life together for prayer, studded, action, social life, and ecumenical leadership.

The covenant is possibly the only one of its kind, according to Rev. Scott Sharman, who is the Anglican Church of Canada's animator for ecumenical and interfaith relations.

Sharman says the covenant may lead other denominations to act similarly.

"As far as I am aware, nothing quite like it ... exists anywhere else in the world," says Sharman, commenting on the vast geographical scope and the large amount of cooperation and commitment the covenant will require.

The covenant commits the four denominations to six practices. Some of these include beginning an annual "service of reconciliation" with participants from all churches, working together on justice-related proposals, and meetings with Indigenous elders and communities.

The involved denominations hope to work to respond to the 94 Calls to Action raised by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Other areas the groups may draw together include prison ministry and clergy swaps.

The agreement builds on another covenant that was made in 2011 between the Anglican dioceses of Qu'Appelle and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina.

The LAURC Covenant was signed digitally by the bishops after the agreement was reached over the course of two online meetings in March.

Bishops from the four denominations who have signed the covenant had already been coming together for quarterly meetings in Saskatchewan over the past few years.

"It is a wonderful sign of what it can look like when presently separated churches and denominations, even with their continuing differences and divergences in place, seek to find ways to try to work and witness as Church together as fully as possible," Sharman says.
