After the 2021 Theological Conference of the Meissen Commission focussed on the theological and ecclesiological potential of the Meissen Declaration for ecumenical relations between the Protestant Church in Germany and the Church of England from today’s perspective, the conference of 2024 explored the scope of the Declaration in terms of canon law and practical theology. At the same time, there were discussions of the important social upheavals that have since changed the church’s understanding of ministry were included. Reflections on ecumenical experiences of interchangeability on the ground show the opportunities and limitations within the Meissen Declaration as well as in different regional, social and ecclesial contexts.
