Engaging with contemporary Anglican theology of the Eucharist
through the concept of anamnesis, this book seeks to enrich the
Church's understanding of transformation and mission. Eucharistic
theology finds its place in the midst of much contemporary Anglican
theology but little attention has been given to the
interrelationship between mission and the Eucharist. Julie Gittoes
engages with the work of David Ford, Rowan Williams and Catherine
Pickstock who share a common concern to engage with the way in
which the Eucharist shapes the life of the worshipping community as
the body of Christ. Focusing on the concept of anamnesis
(remembrance or memorial), Gittoes highlights a language of
connection in the way in which anamnesis describes the integration
of historical, sacramental and ecclesial embodiments of Christ. The
Eucharist looks back to the saving events of Christ's life, death
and resurrection; through it the Church is nourished with the body
of Christ; participating in it anticipates the eschatological
fulfilment of the Kingdom. This book explores the connection
between the source event of the Church's life and the
transformative encounter with Christ in the Eucharist, the effects
of which are seen in social/ethical/political action and the
Church's mission.
