In response to the very real threat of schism in the Anglican Communion, the Lambeth Commission on Communion 2004 published the "Windsor Report" which proposed the worldwide adoption of a Covenant - an agreement to be entered into by all Anglican churches to regulate their relationships and reduce the likelihood of conflict in the future. This book offers introductory guidance to the idea of a Covenant, its theological context and legal implications, the arguments for and against it.

Written by experts from within their communities, this book compares the legal regimes of Christian churches as systems of religious law and provides an understanding of church laws within ten Christian traditions and critically evaluates the Statement against the laws of these individual ecclesial communities.
