Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada
 The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) has been in full communion with the Anglican Church of Canada under the Waterloo Declaration since 2001. ELCIC is Canada's largest Lutheran denomination, with approx. 182,077 baptized members in 620 congregations. It was organized in 1986 through merger of the former Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada (ELCC) and Lutheran Church in America-Canada Section (LCA-CS)
The ELCIC is divided into 5 synods covering a geographical area, each has a bishop elected head. The synods are:
British Columbia;
Alberta and the Territories;
Saskatchewan;
Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario;
Eastern.
The territory of the Eastern Synod runs from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its office is located in Kitchener, Ontario.

 A recent example of cooperation between the churches is the appointment of Pastor Brad Mittleholtz, St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Wiarton, Ontario as Interim for the Anglican Parish of the Bruce Peninsula.

St. Peter's Anglican, Cobourg, Ontario
 The parish of St. Peter's, Cobourg was formed in 1819 under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Quebec and a frame church constructed in 1820 on the present site.
 Alexander Neil Bethune, later the second Bishop of Toronto, was appointed rector of Cobourg in 1827. In 1839, with the formation of the Diocese of Toronto the parish was transferred to its jurisdiction. The following year the church was enlarged. In 1842 the Cobourg Theological Institute was founded with Bethune the first principal. It formed the nucleus of the divinity school in Trinity University.
The present St Peter's building was opened in 1854. It was designed by Henry Bowyer Lane and Kivas Tully and built around the old one which was then dismantled. The extensive alterations have retained the early Gothic Revival architecture of the church.
