- "This book is an attempt on the part of a team of bishops and scholars to address the problem of a tear in the fabric of the Anglican Communion" (p. 9). "Central to the purpose of this book is the presentation of a proposal for the exercise of the enhanced responsibility that successive Lambeth Conferences have asked the Primates Meeting to fulfil" (p. 9). "The gap that exist between the search for relevance in the North and physical survival in the South has a bearing upon two of the controversies that have threatened and are threatening to divide the Communion. The ordination of women may be seen as implicit in the Gospel of Christ or alien to it: something which in itself represents a serious dilemma. This ordination, though, becomes an intolerable problem for the Communion if it is imposed against conscience. Adoption of a new sexual ethic that places great emphasis on pleasure and individual fulfillment creates a crisis of conscience in the Communion whether this novelty is universally imposed or not (p. 11)". "The current situation in the Communion makes it necessary to know ho better to identify the limits of Anglican diversity and relate them to our classical formularies (p. 12".
