Since, despite many commonalities, there are differing conceptions on various matters, in particular as concerns ministry, we are in agreement with our ecumenical counterparts that there will not be any joint sacramental acts or acts of blessing. This means that there will be no joint celebrations of Holy Communion or baptismal acts, and no joint dispensations of blessing at weddings or funerals.

If participation in other collective church events is planned, the responsible church leaders will discuss this in advance.

In our churches, addresses by the clergy of other confessions should not be given from the altar. Addresses by New Apostolic ministers in other churches should not be made from the altar or pulpit either.
