"This book considers the three main tendencies of Anglicanism (Evangelism, Catholicism and the Middle Way). After looking at doctrine, priesthood, episcopacy, establishment, politics, internationalism, ecumenism and comprehensiveness, it predicts that all three tendencies will survive and may be joined by others. The conclusions and pointers will often be found controversial. But the author believes that `Anglicanism will remain a loose international conglomerate of Christians believing many different things. Its unity will be constantly strained: its members will be constantly tempted to disunity, but not above what most of them are able to bear. Anglicanism has the experience of containing differences, the tolerance of theological adventurousness, the confidence and prestige born of long existence, to carry this off. And truth, that elusive commodity made up of as many parts as matter itself, will be served as a result'." -- Back cover.

"What authority does a branch of the Christian Church have to depart from unbroken tradition and unilaterally ordain women to the priesthood of the Church ? What are the consequences for the orders of women priests and for ecumenical relations ? These questions are considered in the light of objections to women's ordination and the implications of the Papal Bull `Apostolicae Curae' of 1896 which declared Anglican orders `null and void'." -- back cover.

"This essay aims to provide a convincing answer to a single question: why ordination for life ? [p. 1] .... In this essay we will operate with the assumption that one cannot understand who the ordained is unless we ask what the Church is, for whose order the priest exists. This question in turn can only be answered as we look at what happens in true preaching and right celebrating. [p. 9-10] .... Why priests for life ? This essay will endeavour to answer the question in three ways, each answer reinforcing its fellows. .... each argument will first back up and answer the prior question: what is the Church ? To be a priest is to be in orders to what ? For this essay assumes that asking and answering the question about the priesthood as a free-standing without backing up this prior, more basic question about the nature of the Church, is to invite misunderstanding."

"Gathered for the Eucharist, the whole community of the people of God affirm their priestly vocation and recognize the particular vocation of a person called to be a priest. How is this vocation tested ? How is it nurtured ? How is it related to the ministry of the diaconate and the laity ? .... Canon Derek Allen welcomes this publication in his Foreword, with these words, 'Priesthood and diaconate have recently been the subject of considerable theological reflection ... There has been room for a monograph which brings together the theological, the pastoral and the spiritual dimensions of the subject, and it is this which Fr. Hugh has attempted and, in mu opinion has done very well". -- back cover.

Sub-title on cover: The Cyprus Agreed Statement of the International Commission for Anglican-Orthodox Theological Dialogue 2006.
"The publication of this 'Cyprus Agreed Statement' concludes the third phase of the Anglican-Orthodox international theological dialogue. The dialogue began in 1973, when the Anglican-Orthodox Joint Doctrinal Discussions (A/OJDD) held its first meeting in Oxford. The first phase of the dialogue was concluded by the publication of the 'Moscow Agreed Statement' in 1976. The publication of the 'Dublin Agreed Statement' in 1984 brought its second phase to a conclusion. Both statements recorded a measure of agreement on a range of specific topics, while acknowledging continuing divergence on others.
The third phase of the dialogue began in 1989, when the commission was reconstituted as the International Commission for Anglican-Orthodox Theological Dialogue (ICAOTD). Its task has been to consider the doctrine of the Church in the light of the doctrine of the Trinity, and to examine the doctrine of the ordained ministry of the Church. Particular attention has been given to the question of who may be ordained to the presbyterate and episcopate. The third phase of the dialogue has given further consideration to ecclesiological issues discussed in earlier phases, and to aspects of Trinitarian doctrine. The 'Cyprus Agreed Statement', like its two predecessors, registers considerable agreement over a range of issues, while leaving the question of the ordination of women unresolved". -- Intro.
