The term "denomination" is now widely used to describe a Christian
community or church. But what is a 'denomination'? In this highly
creative collection of essays, representatives of all major
Christian traditions give an answer to this question. What does the
term mean in their own tradition? And does that tradition
understand itself to be a 'denomination'? If so, what is that
understanding of 'denomination'; and if not, how does the tradition
understand itself vis a vis those churches which do and those
churches which do not understand themselves as 'denominations'? In
dialogue with the argument and ideas set forth in Barry
Ensign-George's essay, each contributor offers a response from the
perspective of a particular church (tradition). Each essay also
considers questions concerning the current landscape of ecumenical
dialogue; ecumenical method and the goals of the ecumenical
movement; as well as questions of Christian identity and belonging.
