- Notes
- The author points outs that in its beginnings the Tractarian (Anglo-Catholic) tradition had a great missionary energy that "established a profound connection between God and the hunger of the world. The Eucharist was understood as a sacrament by which God addresses human hunger out of God's own Trinitarian life. That witness was shaped by perceptions that the urban poor were a spiritual as well as a political and economic challenge, and that prevailing expressions of Christianity failed to take seriously God's care for the material reality and circumstances by which lives proceed". "Catholic Anglicanism brings particular gifts to this [post-modern] period in history. Its liturgical tradition is move evocative than regulatory, more polyphonic than singular, and therefore more likely to be helpful in coaxing shared evangelical witness out of diverse responses to the kerygma. At the same time, it offers itself as what Brueggemann calls the 'testimony to otherwise' to a world ruled increasingly by the inevitability of current arrangements".
