  • Communicative Action: a Way Forward For
    45 Communicative Action: A Way Forward for Inter­Religious Dialogue By Brian Douglas Abstract This article explores the theory of communicative action of the philosopher Jurgen Habermas as a way forward for inter‐religious dialogue. Communicative action based on the intersubjectivity, rationality and force of argumentative speech stands in contrast to the boundary marking of hermeneutic idealism. Communicative action distinguishes between the particularity of one’s lifeworld and the universality of a system paradigm. Communicative action is seen as a way for inter‐religious dialogue to explore the importance of various religious traditions. Whilst arguing that communicative action requires an individual to step outside the solipsism of her own lifeworld, this article also acknowledges the importance of an individual’s particular religious interests. Early in 2008, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion, made headlines throughout the world following a lecture he delivered at the Royal Courts of Justice in London (Williams 2008a). The Archbishop suggested that aspects of sharia law should be used by Muslims in the United Kingdom to resolve personal and domestic issues such as marriage and property disputes. The Archbishop said he thought that the use of sharia law was an inevitable development in Britain. Media reaction to the Archbishop’s speech was extreme, with some commentators saying that he was giving heart to Muslim terrorists (The Sun 2008). The Archbishop did receive support

  • Building on a Rickety Foundation: “An Evangelical Agenda”
    BUILDING ON A RICKETY FOUNDATION: “AN EVANGELICAL AGENDA” James McPherson During one of the meal adjournments from Synod 2001, the Revd Phillip Jensen addressed the Anglican Church League. It was a “missionary” address, titled “An Evangelical Agenda”.1 He promoted “church-planting” and outlined a putative justification for his proposed strategy. His address was notable for its sweeping generalisations and innuendo, eg about “revisionism” and the alleged evils of Tractarianism. Putting to one side all matters of rhetorical technique, the logic of Mr Jensen’s address was that • “the parish system” was working well; • until the Tractarians damaged the parish system irreparably; • so the remedy is to bypass existing parishes damaged by Tractarian and other revisions, and restore authentic Anglicanism. He went further, concluding his address by urging ACL members to campaign so that the churches planted by those who have been forced outside the denomination (ie, by collateral damage to its theology and institutional structures) should be embraced as part of the Anglican family. It is clear from his address that he is promoting competitive rather than collaborative church- planting. That is, this church-planting is not undertaken with the full knowledge and willing cooperation of an existing Anglican parish, but because the existing parish is judged to be defective and thus for the cause of the gospel should be challenged, exposed, and perhaps even extinguished. I intend to show first that Mr Jensen’s proposal bristles with practical difficulties; and second, that it is based on a theologically prejudiced reading of history. Such a view of the past does not commend those who hold it as reliable guides for the future.
