An Agreed Statemnt on the Holy Eucharist:
The agreement statement made by Orthodox-Catholic consultation is shown in six principles. One, the Holy Eucharist is memorial of the history of salvation; especially with the history of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Two, the father sends the Holy Spirit to change the bread and wine into Jesus’ blood and body, and to sanctify the faithful. Three, the eucharistic sacrifice involves the active presence of Christ, the High Priest, acting through the Christian Community, drawing it into his saving worship. Four, when eating the Eucharist, the faithful are nourished as the one body of Christ and are built up as temples of the Holy Spirit. Five, during the Eucharistic celebration we do not only commend ourselves to each other’s and Christ, we also accept the mandate of service of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Six, the Eucharist transforms the believer into the glory of the Lord. Knowing these principles lets the faithful know what they can and cannot do in other religious churches. We must look at the difference of the Churches and how they are related to the principles and how they can be resolved.

An Agreed Statement on the Right to Life:
Human Life is a gift from God, and nobody has the right to take this gift away. Human Life today is being threatened destroyed for unexplainable reasons. It looks like the Church is more concerned with the issues of war and capital punishment more than the right to Human Life. They believe that the right to life to a baby and to a full grown human. Furthering there goal to unborn, mentally challenged, the aging, and the under privileged is there duty on a global and domestic scale. The United States decision the not make abortion illegal has led to a wide discriminate of abortion. The Catholic Church believes in the right to life. No matter under what circumstances a mother is in, the church believes that the baby needs to still be born. The Church wants the faithful to be active toward this subject. They want them to take a stand and to fight for the right to human life. All babies have the right to be born because they have the right to life. This is what the Church teaches, that every person has the right and gift of life, no matter what.
