Remembering Our Future by Andrew Walker

Remembering Our Future by Andrew Walker

Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant traditions drink from the well of a common Christian tradition rooted in the early centuries of the Church. Many Evangelicals are now reengaging with the faith and practice of the early church as they seek resources to live as disciples in a postmodern world. Remembering the past is essential for facing the future. As evangelicals recover from their amnesia they are discovering that they have more in common with orthodox Christians of all traditions that they ever realised. This re-engagement of different streams of the church with a common tradition rooted in the Early Church is what Lewis termed 'Deep Church' and it provides the foundations for a contemporary Christian ecumenism. In this volume church leaders and theologians reflect on a range of issues for which a vibrant contemporary faith requires a careful listening to the past. What is the place of tradition in the life of the Church? How should we interpret the Bible aright? How should we worship? What is the place of baptism and the Eucharist in spiritual renewal? How can Charismatic and Sacramental traditions unite? What should discipleship look like in our pagan cultures? How can we invest our mundane, ordinary lives with spirituality? What, in other words, might 'Deep Church' look like?
