This book was released on 2000 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents in English the official Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, confirmed by the Lutheran World Federation and the Roman Catholic Church in Augsburg, Germany, in October 1999. The result of decades of Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogue, this primary document represents an ecumenical event of historical significance. Included in the volume are the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification and the Official Common Statement with its Annex. These texts are recommended for careful study in seminaries and parishes and for reading by individual Christians. It is hoped that the Joint Declaration will deepen understanding of the biblical message of justification and also serve to further reflection within the wider ecumenical movement.

Download or read book Orthodox Anglican Identity written by Charles Erlandson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the postmodern world we inhabit is highly fragmented, contested, and conflicted, we all have one thing in common: we are experiencing identity crises. Religious traditions are not immune to these crises, and orthodox Anglicans have been experiencing their own issues with identity since the 2003 consecration of an openly homosexual man. Orthodox Anglicans want to say who they are as both orthodox and Anglican, but they are also finding it difficult to articulate a clear and coherent identity, especially an Anglican one. This orthodox Anglican pursuit of a renewed sense of self in a complex and fragmented world is a microcosm of our postmodern context, and an examination of their quest holds enticing clues to our own urgent searches for meaning and identity. Think of this book as a kind of story: the story of a worldwide church who, when its identity was threatened, took counsel together to renew and revitalize its sense of self. In the process, it not only faced many dangers and difficulties but also learned much about who it was and who it wanted to be.

Download or read book Anglican Conciliarism written by Phil Ashey and published by . This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about how Anglicans can find each other around a common confession of faith and doctrine in a coherent way that is Biblical, apostolic, catholic and classically Anglican. Its premise is simple: Conciliar decision making (placing final ecclesiastical authority in church councils) has never been practiced at the international level of the Anglican Communion, where governance developed through "bonds of affection" while there was still a shared faith and doctrine. That consensus collapsed during the 20th Century, so that survival of the Anglican Communion is now in question. What would it look like if, at the international level, Anglicans were to make decisions together in the same conciliar way of decision-making that is found among the national Anglican Churches and their sub-jurisdictions? Such an extrapolation "From below" begins by examining the laws of various Anglican Churches to identify the common principles and practices of the "Church meeting to decide together." In sum this book proposes that the established theory and practice of Anglican conciliarism can be a viable organizing principle for the entire Communion of Anglican Churches - and does so from a canonical approach, that this, from an examination of the laws of Anglican churches: - Chapters ONE and TWO examine the evidence for the principles and practice of conciliar decision-making in the laws and canons of the Church of England - from before the Reformation to the present. - Chapter THREE examines the evidence from four representative Churches (Australia, South East Asia, Nigeria, and Ireland), with two of their dioceses each. Since this is a canonical study "from below" of the actual laws (constitutions and canons) of these Churches, the Chapter is heavily footnoted with citations to those laws. - Chapters FOUR and FIVE focus on the historical development of Eleven (11) Principles and Practices of conciliarism, from the Great Schism of the 14th and 15th Century Medieval Catholic Church to the Reformation in the 16th Century. - Chapter SIX examines the loss of conciliar principles and practices at the global level of Anglican Communion in light of unilateral actions by some Churches in the last 50 years that have stretched the current "Instruments of Communion" beyond the breaking point. - Chapters SEVEN documents the significant differences in the principles and practice of conciliarism among the two contrasting North American Provinces and their sub-sets. - Chapter EIGHT extrapolates the evidence in order to propose a model for conciliarism at the global level of Communion governance. The model that is proposed seeks to overcome the causitive "deficit of authority" via Fundamental Declarations, giving enhanced responsibility to Primates for doctrine, discipline and order, and a "Council of the Anglican Communion." conciliar principles in this proposed model seek to promote "communion" and mission that is both loyal to its Christological center and intelligible to Anglicans and other Christians all over the world. - Chapter NINE explains why the proposed and failed Anglican Communion Covenant is no substitute for the adoption of Fundamental Declarations of faith and doctrine. - Chapter TEN explains why a shared and common good is essential to the very nature of Communion, and how that common good is rooted in the Scriptures themselves - specifically in Philippians 2:5-11. Included as an Appendix is a comparison and contrast between the laws of the Churches in North America - The Episcopal Church USA and the Anglican Church in North America, and two of their dioceses each - around the same Eleven Principles and Practices of Anglican conciliarism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues of gender and sexuality are intrinsic to people’s experience: their sense of identity, their lives and the loving relationships that shape and sustain them. The life and mission of the Church of England – and of the worldwide Anglican Communion – are affected by the deep, and sometimes painful, disagreements about these matters, divisions brought into sharper focus because of society’s changing perspectives and practices, especially in relation to LGTBI+ people. Living in Love and Faith sets out to inspire people to think more deeply both about what it means to be human, and to live in love and faith with one another. It tackles the tough questions and the divisions among Christians about what it means to be holy in a society in which understandings and practices of gender, sexuality and marriage continue to change. Commissioned and led by the Bishops of the Church of England, the Living in Love and Faith project has involved many people across the Church and beyond, bringing together a great diversity and depth of expertise, conviction and experience to explore these matters by studying what the Bible, theology, history and the social and biological sciences have to say. After a Foreword from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the book opens with an invitation from the Bishops of the Church of England to embark on a learning journey in five parts: Part One sets current questions about human identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage in the context of God’s gift of life. Part Two takes a careful and dispassionate look at what is happening in the world with regard to identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. Part Three explores current Christian thinking and discussions about human identity, sexuality, and marriage. In the light of the good news of Jesus Christ, how do Christians understand and respond to the trends observed in Part Two? Part Four considers what it means for us as individuals and as a church to be Christ-like when it comes to matters of identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. Part Five invites the reader into a conversation between some of the people who have been involved in writing this book who, having engaged with and written Parts One to Four, nevertheless come to different conclusions. Amid the biblical, theological, historical and scientific exploration, each part includes Encounters with real, contemporary disciples of Christ whose stories raise questions which ask us to discern where God is active in human lives. The book ends with an appeal from the Bishops to join them in a period of discernment and decision-making following the publication of Living in Love and Faith. The Living in Love and Faith book is accompanied by a range of free digital resources including films, podcasts and an online library, together with Living in Love and Faith: The Course, a 5-session course which is designed to help local groups engage with the resources, also published by Church House Publishing.
