[Christianity Today, UK] June 4, 2005--The first Interim Report of the Anglican-Methodist Covenant has been published by the Joint Implementation Commission (JIC) and will be presented at the upcoming Methodist Conference and the General Synod of the Church of England this summer.

The report entitled "In the Spirit of The Covenant", which aims to lay down a framework of discussion and debate in both churches regarding the Covenant, has addressed three main areas concerning Church life - the bread and wine of Holy Communion, presidency at the Eucharist, and the interchangeability of ordained ministries between the two churches.
