- Author describes this book as a "brief introduction to the Anglican understanding of the Church" which he hopes "will be useful to students training for ordination and to the increasing numbers preparing for various forms of lay ministry, as well as to clergy who may have a nagging sense that their ordination training somehow forgot to tell them much about the Church itself and particularly about the Anglican expression of the Church." -- Preface, p. ix. "But there is another factor that challenges us to grapple with the doctrine of the Church and the Anglican tradition of interpreting that doctrine. Anglican awareness has been raised further by the ecumenical movement. .... What do we stand for ? How is our view of the Church distinctive ? Where do we disagree with others ?" -- Preface, p. x.
- Contents: Preface -- Why Christians Need an Understanding of the Church -- The Quest for Anglican Ecclesiology -- Three Models for Anglican Self-Understanding -- The Spirit of Anglican Ecclesiology -- The Threefold Appeal of Anglican Ecclesiology -- The Sources of Anglican Ecclesiology -- The Shape of Anglican Ecclesiology -- Select Bibliography -- Index.

- At head of title: The Rita and William H. Bell Professorship in Anglican and Ecumenical Studies.
- "Public Lecture, The University of Tulsa, October 23, 1994".
- "The current state of Christian discourse is a shambles. .... Over the past hundred and fifty years or so, we have managed to put the astonishment of the Gospel proclamation not just in the shade but in deep darkness. .... What has occurred, I think, is this. First, we allowed ourselves to be lured into the dull business of answering people's questions about religion instead of throwing ourselves into the fascinating job of astounding them with the bizarreness of what God in Christ has actually done. Second, we bought into the entirely non-Gospel notion that Jesus is the official Boy Scout teacher of morality and that we as his church, therefore, could safely volunteer ourselves as the moral police force of the wrold. Finally, having thus become distracted from our real work, we found ourselves mired instead in the twin dismal swamps of religion and morality -- or, to put a finer, gentler point on it, in the profoundly marginal subjects of apologetics and ethics." -- p. [1-2].

- "[By] Peter Selby.
- "Unlike other human groups which define themselves by a model of kinship, members of the Church belong by virtue of adoption by a God who is free and unconstrained. The authors finds tribalism at work in the Church, a kind of 'old boy's network' which forms its tight-knit boundaries, not by flamboyant and obvious bigotry, but by a coolly argued defence of things as they are. In fact, this is disguised nepotism, a refusal to accept the Church as the adopted people of a generous God, and regarding it instead as a privileged tribe. This book shows in quite practical ways how these hidden assumptions can operate and is a prophetic call to a riskier version of broken boundaries and open acceptance". -- back cover.

- "Orthodox participation in the World Council of Churches has always been a paradox -- enthusiastically committed and yet always plagued by complaints. This situation has lately reached crisis proportions: two Orthodox churches have withdrawn their membership; more threaten to follow. Is this an 'Orthodox problem' ? Or is there something fundamentally wrong with the ecumenical machinery ? In this book, two theologians -- one an Orthodox and one a Lutheran -- engage in an extended dialogue to illumine some of the issues and possible ways forward. The issues they discuss fall squarely within the agenda of the Special Commission on Orthodox Participation in the WCC, which was created in Harare in 1998". -- back cover.

- "We are living with a foot in each of two worlds today. For many North American Christians, 'mission' still connotes sending representatives of Western Christianity to the non-Western world, laden with crayons and vaccines. For others, the notion of becoming 'missional' has completely transformed their sense of the church as an institution and their role in it. For these Christians, 'mission' is no longer about an optional activity of the church but about participating in God's redeeming activity in a world bent on self-destruction. [This book] will try to speak to both these audiences: tracing the sea change and its implications for preachers who have yet to encounter the word 'missional' in their daily lives, and offering concrete suggestions for a reconception of the preaching task for those whose imaginations have already been captured by the possibilities inherent in a missional identity." -- Intro.
- This book "is both a work of theology and a how-to-guide for preachers who want to rethink both the form and the content of their preaching in order to move a congregation from maintenance to mission". -- back cover.

Witvliet -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Missional: Is That a Word ? -- The Quick Fix Is No Longer an Option -- The Kingdom of God and Healing: The New Testament Model -- Reimagining the Kingdom of God -- Reimagining the Congregation -- Reimagining Scripture -- Crafting and Preaching the Missional Sermon -- Notes.

It is plain that the relation of the church to the community and to the state can be profitably considered only in the light of two fundamental questions. The first is the nature of the church. The second is the functions of the church in relation to society. .... Six other volumes in connection with the Oxford Conference are in preparation and will be published, it is hoped, in the autumn of the present year". -- Preface, p. v.

- This book "asks how the community of faith as such can be both context and criterion for dealing with today's questions of shared life on earth, some of which involve threats to the continuation of life itself. The heart of the argument is that churches need to recover the vocation of providing primary moral formation, of shaping people's moral identity, long before politicized arguments begin". -- Preface, p. 8.
- "As it happens, these matters have also been the focus of a study process sponsored over the last four years by the World Council of Churches (WCC). The pages that follow are one participant's `take' on that international dialogue on `ecclesiology and ethics'." - Preface, p. 9.
