The ELCA is not in direct full communion with, for example C of E, but the C of E is in full communion with many mainline Lutheran churches in Europe through the Porvoo Communion.Ok that was a bad example, because the LCA is only a associate member of the LWF. The Lutheran World Federation though is different from the Anglican Communion. While all LWF members are in communion with each other, their unity is based around confessional subscription to the Ausburg Confession. I know at least CCM made it very clear that just because the ELCA and the PECUSA were in full communion with each other, that did not extend to other bodies who might be in communion with each. That was especially important for the PECUSA because the ELCA ahd already entered into communion with several Reformed churches.
