This is a collection of essays by leading theologians and church
leaders on the past, present and future of Anglican theology in the
context of the Lambeth Conference of 2008. This book is a
collection of essays by leading theologians and church leaders on
the past, present and future of Anglican theology in the context of
the Lambeth Conference of 2008. The principal theological strands
of the classical Anglican tradition (Scripture, Tradition and
Reason) are assessed in original and creative ways which will
promote further thought and encourage open debate within the Church
of England and Anglicanism more broadly. Each of the essays focuses
on how the inheritance of the past and present can be appropriated
into the future - instead of being marred by the deep pessimism
which permeates so much of Anglicanism - particularly in the
increasingly inward looking and often bitter Anglo-Catholic
tradition - all the essays offer hopeful and constructive insights
for a vibrant catholic form of Christianity within Anglicanism
which understands the church as a place of dialogue, encounter and
renewal. Instead of division, the emphasis is on conversation,
dialogue and unity. The Book is divided into two parts. The three
essays in part one re-assess the sources of doctrine in Anglicanism
in novel ways, all in dialogue with history, as well as with the
theologies of other churches, and the experience in other
religions. A conversation is promoted which continues through the
chapters in Part Two, which engage in their different - and often
exciting ways - with the ecumenical setting of theology,
Anglo-Catholicism and the future, and the effects of the recent
Lambeth Conference on the resolution of conflict and peacemaking
across the Anglican Communion. Affirming Catholicism is a
progressive movement in the Anglican Church, drawing inspiration
and hope from the Catholic tradition, confident that it will bear
the gifts of the past into the future. The books in this series aim
to make the Catholic element within Anglicanism once more a
positive force for the Gospel, and a model for effective mission
today.
