CHICAGO (ELCA) -- The ELCA welcomes dialogue with the Reformed
Church in America (RCA) and a consultation involving church partners who
are part of the 1997 Formula of Agreement, a full-communion relationship
of the ELCA, RCA, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the United Church of
Christ, said the Rev. Donald J. McCoid, executive, ELCA Ecumenical and
