A covenant was signed in 1975 between theChurch in Wales, theMethodist Church of Great Britain, thePresbyterian Church of Wales (PCW), theUnited Reformed Church (URC) and some covenanted Baptist churches.[1] TheseCovenanted Churches work together on issues of faith and worship and are pledged to ever-closerecumenical cooperation. The Commission of the Covenanted Churches is committed to the "development of new ecumenical congregations and churches", and the "preparation of agreed liturgies for communion and baptism".[2] Proposals in the early 2000s for the creation of an "Ecumenical Bishop" were rejected by the smaller denominations. The Covenanted Churches are also members ofCytûn.[1]
