Did the Anglicans and Roman Catholics Agree on the Eucharist?

Theology

“A fascinating and detailed account of the work of ARCIC and the response of the two Communions in search of an answer to the question of whether Anglicans and Roman Catholics agree on the Eucharist. Even if some may not entirely agree with all of the use of the evidence, Bishop Colin’s reflections will help us reconsider and perhaps refine the processes of response to, and reception of, the results of ecumenical dialogue.”

Ecumenical Reception

Theology

“This is an important exploration of the concept of reception. Particularly valuable is the chapter in which Rusch describes concrete examples of ecumenical reception in the lives of many churches. These examples help the reader to get hold of this new ecumenical process in church history. The discussion moves into two areas not widely known, namely, 'differentiated consensus' and the more recently identified 'differentiated participation.' Whether ecumenical reception in the future depends on these two concepts remains to be seen, as Rusch himself acknowledges. . . This is a book not to be missed by committed ecumenists.”

Look Back in Hope

History & Biography

“This fascinating account of a lifetime of the author's ecumenical ministry, locally and in international affairs, celebrates signs of hope but is also clear about missed opportunities and failures of the churches to move together. The vision, with its passion for unity inseparable from a passion for justice and peace, is compelling.”

Pro Communione

Theology

“These essays are a splendid, varied, and important contribution to the discussion of the Anglican Covenant. They shed light on our Anglican past, point to the promise and richness of a covenanted way in the future, and contain insights for our ecumenical partners about the unity and identity of the Anglican Communion. They deserve to be widely read.”
