Conciliarism is one of the oldest and most essential means of
decision-making in the history of the Christian church. Indeed, as
a leading Orthodox theologian Alexander Schmemann states, 'Before
we understand the place and the function of the council in the
church, we must, therefore, see the church herself as a council.'
Paul Valliere tells the story of councils and conciliar
decision-making in the Christian church from earliest times to the
present. Drawing extensively upon the scholarship on conciliarism
which has appeared in the last half-century, Valliere brings a
broad ecumenical perspective to the study and shows how the
conciliar tradition of the Christian past can serve as a resource
for resolving conflicts in the church today. The book presents a
conciliarism which involves historical legacy, but which leads us
forward, not backward, and which keeps the church's collective eyes
on the prize - the eschatological kingdom of God.
