Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission to Meet

- Text
- The newly-formed, second Anglican-Roman Catholic Commission (ARCIC II) will meet outside Europe for the first time August 27 to September 5 at "Graymoor," Garrison, New York.
- ARCIC II was formed in 1982 by a "Common Declaration" of Archbishop Robert Runcie of Canterbury and Pope John Paul II to examine "the outstanding doctrinal differences which still separate us, with a view towards their eventual resolution. To study all that hinders the mutual recognition of the Ministries of our Communions, and to recommend what practical steps will be necessary when, on the basis of our unity in Faith, we are able to proceed to the restoration of full communion."
- The Co-Chairmen of ARCIC II are Bishop Cormac Murphy-O'Connor of Arundel and Brighton in England, and Bishop Mark Santer of Kensington, London, England. They head a group of twelve theologians and leaders from each of the two Churches.
- The up-coming meeting will continue discussion of "Church and Salvation" which includes the contentious Reformation issue of Justification by Faith. The other major topic will be "Growth in Reconciliation," which takes up the planning of future stages toward unity, including the mutual recognition of Ministries.
- There are two Canadians on ARCIC II. They are the Very Rev. John Baycroft, Dean of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, and the Rev. Dr. Jean-Marie Tillard, Professor of Dogmatic Theology in the Dominion Faculty of Theology in Ottawa.
- Greymoor was chosen as the site for the meeting because it is the headquarters of the (Roman Catholic) Society of the Atonement (Franciscan) which has long been active in the Ecumenical movement. The Roman Catholic and Episcopal (Anglican) Churches in the U.S.A. have been in dialogue for many years and local co-operation is common.
- The Most Rev. James Malone, President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (U.S.A.) and the Most Rev. John M. Allin, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church will join the Commission for part of its meeting.

- In August 1994, at the invitation of the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches, liturgists and leaders of worship from nearly all Christian traditions met in Ditchingham, England to reconsider the implications of worship for the ecumenical quest. The event produced an exciting report and the letter reproduced in this article.

- "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.

- Includes bibliographical references and index.
- 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.

- "By William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury".
- "It has been suggested that it might be useful to publish in book form some of the chief sermons and speeches which I delivered during the first eighteen months after entering on my present work. .... If any one of these addresses may be said to strike the key-note, it is that on 'The Crisis of Western Civilisation'. Our need is a new integration of life: Religion, Art, Science, Politics, Education, Industry, Commerce, Finance -- all these need to be brought into a unity as agents of a single purpose. That purpose can hardly be found in human aspirations; it must be the divine purpose. That divine purpose is presented to us in the Bible under the name of the Kingdom (Sovereignty) of God, or as the summing-up of all things in Christ, or ass the coming-down out of heaven of the holy city, the New Jerusalem". -- Preface.

- That the General Synod has received with great satisfaction the report of the representatives of the Church at the Lausanne Conference on Faith and Order and rejoices in the evidence that it affords of a growing desire among all Christian people for the re-union of Christendom. It re-affirms its adherence to the Lambeth Appeal, looks forward with confident hope to a world-wide unity in the faith of Jesus Christ as contemplated in that Appeal and stands ready to do all in its power to further that end.

- "This book is a considerably shortened version of a dissertation I wrote for the degree of PhD at Fordham University, New York. The major part of the original dissertation was prepared during 1979-80. Because of my heavy responsibilities in the war-torn country of Lebanon, it could be completed only in 1988". -- Preface.
- "The term 'conciliar fellowship' was used by the Nairobi assembly of the World Council of Churches to describe the nature and goal of unity. It was held up as a vision of how unity could be realized and experienced. The two subsequent assemblies reaffirmed the importance of conciliar fellowship. But the enormous potential of the concept for the 'unity we seek' has not yet been fully explored. 'Conciliar Fellowship: A Common Goal' is a serious attempt to begin such an exploration by one who has been involved for the last fifteen years in Faith and Order discussions of this and related topics. The book shows in a lively way how the major tradition of the Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant churches interact with one another on the issues. It discusses the concrete form of a conciliar fellowship, a topic avoided by most commentators, and makes an interesting distinction between conciliar fellowship and the possibility of a modern 'ecumenical council'". -- back cover.
