The
Porvoo Communion is a
communion of 15 mainly northern European
Anglican and
Lutheran churches. It was established in 1992 by an agreement entitled the
Porvoo Common Statement which establishes
full communion between and among the churches. The agreement was negotiated in the town of
Järvenpää in
Finland, but the Communion's name comes from the city of
Porvoo where there was a joint celebration of
Holy Communion after the formal signing in Järvenpää.
