- Abstract: Relations with the Anglican Communion were coordinated first by the National Council's Department of Foreign Missions, which became the Overseas Department in 1942. The work was continued under the Executive Council’s National and World Mission Committee in 1975, which was supported by an office at Church Center that oversaw Anglican relations as one part of its varied duties. In 1980, after another reorganization, the new Standing Committee on World Mission in Church and Society took up the work, with specific desks for Anglican Partners, Overseas Episcopal Dioceses, and Wider Episcopal Fellowship work. The separation of Anglican concerns from ecumenical and overseas mission work has persisted through the first two decades of the 21st century.
