Here is a tiny start

A perplexing question
- Given:
- The Mar Thoma Syrian Church of India is in full communion with the Anglican Communion.
- Part of the Anglican Communion is the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.
- The Episcopal Church in the United States of America is in full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
- The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is in full communion with the Moravian Church.
- Is the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of India in full communion with the Moravian Church?--Pharos 06:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
answer:
a friend of mine was explaining this to me. One church might be in full comunion with two churches that are not in full comunion with each other. So in theory you could "jump" from one to the other to the other, but not directly. I know it's kind of weird but that's the way they work. Cjrs 79 08:52, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
- In mathematical language, one would say that the relationship of full communion is not transitive. Michael Hardy 18:21, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
