Klappentext zu „Two Trains Running “
Between 1966 and 1981 an enormous effort has been made by the Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC I) to overcome differences in the understanding and practice of the Christian Faith. Four major theological texts, based on the idea of resourcement, were published together as the Final Report in 1981. Why were the high ecumenical expectations of the seventies not fulfilled? At the same time the Anglican churches began to discuss openly the possibility of ordaining women to the priesthood. The Anglican discussion had clear repercussions for the Catholic Church. This study investigates the relations that existed between these debates and the reception of the Final Report. It pays particular attention to the developments of the understanding about authority in the Church. Authority in the Church comprises hermeneutical, foundation theological, christological and ecclesiological notions. ARCIC worked with its own conception of authority in matters of faith and order, and it proposed a certain understanding of episcopal collegiality as the corner stone for "organic union". The book infers that the debates on the ordination of women have led to developments in the understanding of authority in the Catholic Church and the Anglican Churches that diverge from what ARCIC did and proposed. The consequences for ecumenical relations between the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church are explored.

Pressezitat
"...this is a measured and useful study. [...] It provides a wealth of documentation for the ecumenical scholar and an important hypothesis that should deepen work on authority in all the ecumenical dialogues. It is an important reference for any theological work and essential for the ecumenical scholar." (Jeffrey Gros, Journal of Ecumenical Studies)Kommentar zu "Two Trains Running"
