- to develop appropriate protocols and models for working together;
- to continue to reflect and advise on outstanding theological issues, with particular reference to the interchangeability of ministries;
- to be conversant with and, where appropriate, to participate in developments taking place in Anglican/Methodist relations in other parts of the world;
- to report annually to the General Synod of the Church of Ireland and to the Conference of the Methodist Church in Ireland.
