On 1 November 2003, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Secretary General of the General Synod and of the Archbishops’ Council, and the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the Methodist Conference signed An Anglican-Methodist Covenant in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II.
The signing took place in the context of worship in Methodist Central Hall, Westminster, during which the Archbishop of Canterbury preached a sermon. The service continued in Westminster Abbey with thanksgiving and an act of dedication during which the President of the Conference preached a sermon.
In November 2024 we will celebrate the 21st Anniversary of the Covenant!
Local Methodist and Church of England churches are invited to share in this celebration; and we will be producing resources to support this, which will be available here in due course.
