Originating in 1867 under the presidency of the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Lambeth Conference has proactively shaped the
modern world by influencing areas as diverse as the ecumenical
movement, post-war international relations, and the spiritual lives
of hundreds of millions. A team of distinguished scholars from
around the world now detail the historical legacy, theological
meaning, and pastoral purpose of the Anglican Communion's decennial
councils. The next Lambeth Conference will be crucial for the
Anglican Communion, which is currently afflicted by destructive
tensions over matters long central to Christian identity, such as
the nature of holy orders, the definition of sexual morality, and
the scope of ecclesial authority. Whether in supplication or
celebration, both nurtured by diverse cultural contexts and
furthered by the scope of ecumenical horizons, these essays break
new ground. The Lambeth Conference is a faithful testament to
generations past, and a spur to the ongoing restoration of Anglican
theology and devotion in the present.

A Eucharist-shaped Church: Prayer, Theology, Mission is a
historical-theological survey of major movements and thinkers that
have shaped sacramental theology and liturgical worship within the
Anglican/Episcopal tradition. The contributors attend closely to
the interplay between Christian thinking, praying, and living in
order to distil lessons for liturgical revision and worship
renewal. Each chapter explores a major thinker or movement, and
explores how the theological, liturgical, ecclesiological, and
missiological commitments of the thinker or movement interacted and
shaped the thinker's or movement's overall thought. This serves a
two-fold purpose: 1.) Much scholarship about Anglican eucharistic
theology treats some aspect of that theology in isolation
(presence, sacrifice, etc.) from other aspects, and from the
context in which the theology was developed. This approach shows
how these various aspects and contexts in fact have mutual
explanatory power. 2.) The interaction of these various aspects of
eucharistic theology provide a framework for those involved in
liturgical revision to think through the commitments communicated
by the proposed revisions.
