intercommunion
Full communion is a communion or relationship of full agreement among different Christian denominations that share certain essential principles of Christian theology. Views vary among denominations on exactly what constitutes full communion, but typically when two or more denominations are in full communion it enables services and celebrations, such as the Eucharist, to be shared among congregants or clergy of any of them with the full approval of each.

intercommunion
Intercommunion is the practice of sharing the Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion, between members of different Christian denominations. It embodies the mutual recognition of sacraments and ministries. Its observance varies and depends on agreements between denominations, and it sometimes involves doctrinal, theological, and jurisdictional complexities, often relating to the understanding of the Church. However, in many cases, it is generally restricted due to differences in understanding and belief about the Eucharist.

Intercommunionnoun
