Full communion?

From a post at Christian Post:

Lutheran ministers who are in same-sex relationships will not be allowed to serve as clergy in United Methodist congregations despite the new full communion agreement between the two denominations.

The post goes on to state that Gregory Palmer, president of the United Methodist Council of Bishops, states that the recent ELCA action does not negate the UMC Book of Discipline.

I think I understand how this works, but it does make me wonder if “full communion” is not a misleading term. But it has been in vogue for a few years now and may not go away.
