President de Gaulle famously called the Second Vatican Council 'the
greatest event of the twentieth century'. Vatican II established a
landmark not only in Roman Catholic theology, ethics and worship,
but also in its ecclesiology and ecumenical relationships with
other traditions. Commentators at the time saw the council as
nothing short of revolutionary and the later judgements of
historians have upheld this view. A defining dimension of Vatican
II was the presence of a number of observers invited by John XXIII
to represent other traditions and to report the workings of the
Council to their own leaders. But it was often felt that they
exerted influence, too. The Archbishop of Canterbury employed a
representative at the Vatican Council, Bernard Pawley. Pawley's
confidential reports and correspondence have often been quoted in
secondary studies, and have achieved a considerable academic
stature. This book makes them available to scholars, churches and
the public.
