"Historically, what did the Church and theologians mean by apostolicity, apostolic tradition, apostolic churches, and apostolic succession ? Theologically, what have important postconciliar theologians taught about apostolicity ? How have worldviews shaped the understanding of apostolicity ? How might the thesis of the apostolicity of the whole Church impact other ecclesiological and sacramental issues ? Ecumenically, what are the points of agreement in several important ecumenical dialogues ? Which points are disputed among the churches ? [This book] addresses these concerns." -- back cover.

"These chapters were originally delivered as lectures at a conference of some eight clergy held in Edmonton in August, 1951. At the unanimous request of the members of the conference they were prepared for publication by the authors, and are now available to the whole Church". -- Foreword.
"It must be emphasized that our intention in the preparation of the lectures both for delivery and for publication was not that of direct controversy. We do, indeed, represent distinct trends within Anglican thought, but in the course of several years of friendship and frank discussion we have discovered many unexpected agreements and underlying unities. While it will be obvious that many of our difference remain unresolved, we wish to make it clear that each of us has tried to understand and appreciate the position of the other, even when our disagreements have been sharpest. Believing, as we do, that patient and honest study of the issues here presented can lead to significant results, we earnestly hope that our small book may contribute to deeper unity and sympathetic comprehension within the Anglican Communion". -- Preface.
