Contents: Members of ARCIC II in attendance at the Venice meeting, 1993, together with Members of the Drafting sub-Committee (Members of ARCIC I) -- A Statement by the Co-Chairmen of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC II) / Mark Santer, Cormac Murphy-O'Connor -- Clarifications of certain aspects of the Agreed Statements on Eucharist and Ministry of ARCIC I -- Eucharist -- Ministry and Ordination -- Letter to the Co-Chairmen of ARCIC II from Cardinal Cassidy dated March 11th, 1994 / Edward Idris Cassidy.
Includes one paragraph on page 11 re the Ordination of women: "The Commission stated that its concern was the origin and nature of the ordained ministry, not the question of who can or cannot be ordained (Ministry and Ordination, Elucidation,5). However, the Response maintains that the Ordination of Women `affects' the Final Report's claims to have reached substantial agreement on Ministry and Ordination. We are confronted with an issue that involves far more than the question of ministry as such. It raises profound questions of ecclesiology and authority in relation to Tradition. This subject is part of the mandate entrusted to ARCIC II".

"This series of groundbreaking texts [from the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, ARC USA and ARC Canada] is published in one volume to provide resources for preaching, study, catechetical instruction, prayer, and reflection. The documents should encourage those who work to heal divisions. This series is also a reference work to aid leaders and scholars in giving authentic witness to the common ground these two Churches share in Christ. The documents here bring up to 1995 documentation previously collected and published (Wright/Witmer, 1985) that covers the period from 1966 to 1983. Some of these texts are available in the context of other ecumenical documents (Vischer, 1984; Burgess, 1989, 1995)." -- Intro. p. x.
