- Title
ANGLICANORUM COETIBUS: ECUMENICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR MUTUAL RECOGNITION OF MINISTRY.
- Authors
Evans, G. R.
- Abstract
This paper argues that the ecclesiology of Anglicanorum coetibus is unsatisfactory from an ecumenical point of view. While recognizing the validity of the ecclesial life of Anglicans, it identifies this life chiefly as an identity of rites. This reinforces rather than addresses the problem of mutual recognition of ministry arising from the Roman Catholic insistence that Anglican Orders are null and void, on which so many attempts at rapprochement have foundered. These ecumenical drawbacks are examined in the context of the notions of dispensation and oikonomia, emergency and exceptional provision.
