Seeking the Truth of Change in the Church by The Rev Paul Avis
Arising out of consultations under the auspices of the Centre for the Study of the Christian Church, this book examines the Church of England's decision to ordain women to the priesthood and to make pastoral provision for those opposed.
"This brief volume will be of interest to readers who are fairly new to the questions of communion ecclesiology, and the general history and theology behind the doctrines of reception and communionFor persons outside the Anglican Communion, it provides an opportunity to be something of a nosy neighbor at someone else's family reunion while also considering the wider ecumenical import of decisions made by church bodies. For persons such as myself, a lay Catholic feminist scholar, Seeking the Truth makes for fascinating if frustrating reading." -A. Denise Starkey, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Volume 11, Issue 4, September 2004
Paul Avis is General Secretary of the Church of England's Council for Christian Unity, Sub-Dean of Exeter Cathedral, and Director of the Centre for the Study of the Christian Church.
