The Anglican Covenant by Mark Chapman
A collection of essays by leading theologians and church leaders on the implications of the proposed Anglican Covenant, which has been offered as a solution to the crises facing worldwide Anglicanism. This book presents a discussion of the theology and politics behind the Covenant.
"Written under the auspices of the Affirming Catholicism Movement, the authors provide readers with a relatively unbiased and thought-provoking study of the draft Covenant.. what makes this book unique is its attempt to work towards a resolution of the issue using practical, theological and ecclesiological approaches. While focussing on one branch of the Christian faith, it offers much food for theological reflection to those of us coming from other branches." - Verbum et Ecclesia
"This collection of essays remains a valuable resource in the ongoing discussion of whether or not an Anglican covenant is the way to address the Communion's so-called 'ecclesial deficit' spoken of by the present archbishop of Canterbury." -Richard Geoffrey Leggett, Sewanee Theological Review, Vol. 52:4, 2009
"This is a useful collection of essays...It presents a helpfully diverse range of views...provides substantial food for thought and reflection" 1 December 2008 -- John Riches, Glasgow University * Expository Times *
