- "Central to ARCIC-I's understanding of conciliarity is that conciliarity and primacy are complementary elements of 'episcope'. .... ARCIC-I develops its understanding of conciliarity within an ecclesiology of communion. The introduction to `The Final Report' claims that "fundamental to all our Statements is the concept of `koinonia' (communion)". `Koinonia' has emerged as an important ecclesiological concept in many bilateral statements. This dissertation, with its emphasis upon conciliarity in an ecclesiology of communion, is situated within the broader context of these ecumenical discussions on authority and ecclesiology. I will argue that ARCIC-I's understanding of conciliarity in an ecclesiology of communion has implications for Roman Catholic ecclesiology because it redresses a tendency in Roman Catholicism to emphasize papal primacy at the expense of conciliarity and the responsible participation of the whole people of God. I will also demonstrate that the Anglican synodical tradition is a gift that the Anglican Communion brings to the dialogue on authority with the Roman Catholic Church. My thesis is situated within the wider ecumenical discussion on authority, I will also identify some contributions that `The Final Report' makes to an understanding of conciliarity in an ecclesiology of communion and to the ongoing ecumenical dialogue on the nature and exercise of authority in the Church". -- Intro, ll. 3, 4
