EspañolPORVOO COMMUNION
Countries with churches of the Porvoo Communion. The Churches of the Anglican Communion are in dark green, while the Nordic Lutheran Churches are in light green.
The 'Porvoo Communion' is the community formed through an agreement between twelve European churches which consider themselves as maintaining the Catholic and Apostolic Faith while being Protestant with regard to the Roman Catholic Church. The agreement, entitled, ''The Porvoo Common Statement'', establishes full communion between and among the churches. The agreement was negotiated in 1994 in the town of Porvoo in Finland. The churches involved are the Anglican churches of the British Isles, the Lutheran national churches of the Nordic countries, and the Lutheran churches of the Baltic countries. Later negotiations brought the Episcopal (Anglican Communion) churches of the Iberian peninsula into the agreement.
