Building on the formal agreement between The Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, churches and people in the Diocese of Connecticut and the ELCA, New England Synod, work together. In the northwest corner of the state, Christ Church, Canaan; All Saints', Cornwall; and Trinity, Milton have a close relationship with St. Peter's ELCA, Cornwall. The pastor of St. Peter's and the recently retired vicar of Christ Church wrote a book together named Called To Common Mission.
