- "While it is unsafe to generalize too freely in the area of Anglican-Roman Catholic relations, nonetheless there is a growing body of evidence to indicate that members of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches are beginning to view each other with quite a new perspective. ..... If this encouraging trend continues, and accelerates in keeping with the times, there is every reason to believe that before this century has ended Anglicans and Roman Catholics may find themselves quietly and naturally reunited in a Church which is both fully Catholic and truly Reformed." -- Preface.
- "It is my special intention here to focus ... squarely upon some of the main problems to be faced and resolved before we Anglicans can once again enjoy full communion with Roman Catholics, and they with us. .... The major conflict between the Anglican and they Roman Catholic Churches has always centred on the vexing question of Papal authority". -- p. 10.

- "George F. Lewis, Assistant Professor of Anatomy at the University of Toronto, is an Anglican layman, actively engaged in the work of his parish church and a member of the General Synod Committee on Anglican-Roman Catholic Relations. It is Mr. Lewis' conviction that every Christian, as a member of the laity or 'primary order' of the Church's ministry, has both the right and the duty to be a theologian -- that is, to study things divine. He believes, furthermore, that today every Christian should be well prepared to assist in the work of the Ecumenical Movement." -- back cover.
