It is designed to meet the growing demand, in churches, seminaries and among individuals, for theological resources in the area of ecclesiology. A working definition of ecclesiology as a theological discipline might be: ‘The scholarly and critical study of the nature, purpose and actions of the Christian Church.’ Ecclesiology as a discipline is concerned primarily with the theological identity of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church of Jesus Christ. It is true to say that ecclesiology is one of the most creative and dynamic areas of theological endeavour today. In a secondary and derivative sense it is also concerned with the identities of particular churches. Ecclesiology will be published three times per year: in September, January and May. In our design of each issue and selection of material we aim to be guided by the three criteria of sound research, clarity of presentation and contemporary relevance. Our main areas of focus will be the central concerns of the theological study of the Church: mission, ministry and unity. First, there will be a mission focus. This journal aims not to be inward looking, focusing on the domestic agenda of the churches, but to take its cue from the mission of the Church in the world (or, to put it more correctly: the Church’s role in the missio dei ). The missiological thrust of the journal will include the study of the Church’s evangelistic task, its engagement with increasingly secular cultures and pluralist societies in the West, and its interaction with other faiths. Second, there will be a ministry focus. Within the shaping context of mission, the journal will offer a platform for the study of Christian ministry, ordained and lay. It will sponsor explorations of the biblical and theological meaning of ministry (diakonia). It will deal with the three ministerial tasks (tria munera) of teaching, sanctifying and governing – in other words, the triple ministry of word, sacrament and pastoral responsibility in the Church. It will consider the commissioning and authority of the ministry, the message it proclaims, its ordering according to biblical and patristic patterns, its liturgical roles and the various skills that lay and ordained ministers require in today’s demanding society. © The Continuum Publishing Group Ltd 2004 The Tower Building, 11 York Road, London SE1 7NX and 15 East 26th Street, Suite 1703, New York, NY 10010, USA. Editorial 7 Third, there will be a unity focus. The journal will wrestle with current ecumenical debates about the nature of Church unity, spiritual and visible, mystical and institutional. It will attempt to cover the main bases of ecumenical theology that see Christian unity expressed in: a common confession of the apostolic faith; a mutually recognized and interchangeable ministry; a common sacramental life focused on Christian initiation, centred on baptism and the Eucharist; and connected structures of leadership, pastoral oversight (episkope) and decision- making. In addition to these core areas, the journal will also feature articles exploring wider issues in ecclesiology, including those to do with the identity of the Christian Church in the modern or postmodern world, and methodological questions concerning the place of ecclesiology within Christian theology. Some other key features that help to identify this journal are: • A broad interdisciplinary approach to ecclesiological issues, taking in biblical studies, church history, historical and contemporary theology, applied theology and ecclesial ethics. • An ecumenical and international (particularly transatlantic) flavour, reflected in the make-up of the Editorial Team and the complexion of the wider body of editorial consultants (the Editorial Advisory Board). • A policy of combining scholarly depth and rigour with clear relevance to current issues facing the churches, in a way that appeals to practitioners, such as bishops and other church leaders, clergy and ministers, lay people, seminarians and students – as well as to teachers of theology and other scholars. • An imaginative approach to book reviews, with adequate space allocated for review articles, including in-depth evaluation of significant theological publications, and the occasional dialogue between author and reviewer. Altogether, Ecclesiology is more than another theological journal: it is a journal with a cause – to advance the mission, ministry and unity of Christ’s Church. Our intention is to intersperse general issues with themed issues that provide a coherent resource for study and reflection. This first issue is a general one. The second issue will be a themed issue on ‘Holy Order’, with articles on aspects of Ministry and Ordination from Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist and Anglican perspectives. PAUL AVIS Convening Editor © The Continuum Publishing Group Ltd 2004. [ECCL 1.1 (2004) 9–35] ISSN 1744 –1366 On Evangelical Ecclesiology 9 On Evangelical Ecclesiology * JOHN WEBSTER ABSTRACT Evangelical ecclesiology describes the relation between the gospel and the church, and in particular the way in which the grace of the triune God constitutes the church as the communion of saints. Consequently: (1) The doctrine of the church is shaped by an account of the perfection of God, i.e. the sufficiency and fullness of God’s being and act. This perfection is not inclusive (as in some communion ecclesiologies), but is to be thought of as a movement of grace in which God determines himself for fellowship with his creatures. (2) The visibility of the church (pervasive in modern ecclesiology) is properly a spiritual visibility, which the church has by virtue of the Spirit’s act. The primary visible acts of the church are its attestations of the presence and action of God. The Church and the Perfection of God 1. The task of evangelical ecclesiology is to describe the relation between the gospel and the church. It is charged to investigate the sense in which the existence of a new human social order is a necessary implicate of the gospel of Jesus Christ, asking whether the life of the Christian community is internal to the logic of the gospel or simply accessory and accidental. Are gospel and church extrinsically or internally related? The answer proposed here can be described summarily in the following way: The matter of the gospel is the free majesty of the triune God’s grace in his works of creation, reconciliation and completion. Out of the plenitude and limitless perfection of his own self-originating life as Father, Son and Spirit, God determines to be God with his creatures. This directedness of God to creatures has its eternal origin in the purpose of the Father. The Father wills that ex nihilo there should come into being a creaturely counterpart to the fellowship of love which is the inner life of the Holy Trinity. This purpose is put into effect by God the Son, who is both maker and remaker of creatures, calling them into being and calling them back into being when they have fallen into estrangement from the one through whom and for whom they are made. And the divine purpose is perfected in the Spirit. The * What follows is a much compressed version of two lectures at a conference on ‘The Community of the Word: Toward an Evangelical Ecclesiology’, held at Wheaton College in April 2004. © The Continuum Publishing Group Ltd 2004.2004 9 The Tower Building, 11 York Road, London SE1 7NX and 15 East 26th Street, Suite 1703, New York, NY 10010, USA. 10 Ecclesiology Spirit completes creatures by sustaining them in life, directing their course so that they attain their end, which is fellowship with the Father, through the Son and in the Spirit. Fellowship with God is thus the mystery of which the gospel is the open manifestation (Col. 1.26). This manifestation does not simply take the form of an announcement. As the manifestation of God’s purpose for his creatures, it is limitlessly potent and creative; it generates an assembly, a social space (we might even say a polity and a culture).

  • Annual Report from 1 August 2010
    6 Annual Report and Accounts 2014 - 15 Annual Report August 2014 - July 2015 Introduction Christ Church Cathedral was, as ever, full of exciting activities and events during 2014 - 15, the most significant of which was the appointment of a new Dean, Martyn Percy, who replaced Christopher Lewis on his retirement in September 2014 after eleven years at the helm. Martyn became the forty-sixth Dean of Christ Church since its establishment by Henry VIII in 1546. This year’s cover illustration features the summer 2014 art installation of paper pilgrims produced by Summerfield School pupils displayed in our 15th century watching loft, situated between the Latin Chapel and the Lady Chapel. Worship There are between three and six regular Cathedral services every day of the year. Our congregations are varied: supporting a core of regular worshippers are a significant number of tourists visiting Christ Church from around the world. The Cathedral’s informal Sunday evening reflective service, After Eight, continued throughout the Michaelmas and Hilary terms and covered a wide range of topics. These included ‘A Particular Place’, focusing on a location of special spiritual significance to each of four speakers, ‘Enduring War … Engaging with Peace’, addressing present day conflicts, and ‘When I needed a Neighbour’, a series of dialogues on Christian ministry at the margins of modern life. There were many special events and services among them the following: • Our new year was ushered in with a reminder of the First World War. The centenary of the outbreak

ABSTRACT AN EXAMINATION OF PERSONAL SALVATION IN THE THEOLOGY OF NORTH AMERICAN EVANGELICALISM: ON THE ROAD TO A THEOLOGY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE by Robert F.J. Gmeindl The question under consideration is the effect of the belief in personal salvation on the theology of North American Evangelicalism, for the purpose of developing a theology of social justice. This study is a preliminary investigation of the history of Evangelical individualism and the potential influence that individualism might have on Evangelical theology. Certain trends toward isolation and separation, as well as a tendency to neglect what I have called systemic evil, are examined to see how they may result from the Evangelical stress on individualism.

Jones, lighting design by Rich Norwood, sound design by Jason Knox and properties design by Nick Heggestad. "I say we go...up that hill, where the poplars are. There where the wind blows...it's not a bad halfway house between Indochina and a picnic." - Heroes It's 1959 and Philippe, Gustave and Henri, three veterans from WWI keep each other company on the back terrace of a retired soldiers' home. Through a series of witty scenes, the men goad one another into new adventures. The men's cantankerous camaraderie becomes strained as they plot an expedition to Indochina, or at least as far as the poplar trees on the distant hill. Heroes is a funny and bittersweet play about memory and "not going gently into that good night." The 2009-2010 Season is made possible by Prince Charitable Trusts, The Gaylord & Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, The Illinois Arts Council and by a City Arts Program 3 grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.

  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

  • Ecumenical Ecclesiology in Its New Contexts: Considering the Transformed Relationship Between Roman Catholic Ecclesiology and Ecumenism
    religions Article Ecumenical Ecclesiology in its New Contexts: Considering the Transformed Relationship between Roman Catholic Ecclesiology and Ecumenism Kristin Colberg Department of Theology, College of Saint Benedict, St. John’s School of Theology & Seminary, Collegeville, MN 56321-2000, USA; [email protected] Received: 20 August 2018; Accepted: 25 September 2018; Published: 26 September 2018 Abstract: The quest for Christian unity is entering a new phase amidst the movement’s many voices, perspectives and tensions. Christians are witnessing the advent of an emerging ecumenical paradigm, which, because it is not fully realized, is still realizing its full definition. The paradigm operates in a global context rather than a Eurocentric one, and even as it is more global, it is simultaneously more local. It cultivates shared praxis while being less concerned with the comparison of dogmas. Ecclesiology is also entering a new paradigm which shares many features with its ecumenical counterpart, particularly its global perspective and interest in shared praxis ahead of dogmatic questions. Even though ecumenism and ecclesiology share common trajectories, their journeys are unfolding in largely parallel rather than cooperative and mutually-enriching ways. This raises the question: What opportunities might arise from examining the shifts in ecumenism and ecclesiology together? This article examines how new methodological and practical developments in these two fields can form and inform one another. It studies the shift to synodality in the Catholic Church and the turn towards discernment in the ecumenical sphere as manifestations of similar theological commitments and a common interest in cultivating participatory processes. The seismic changes reshaping the religious landscape are transforming the relationship between ecumenism and ecclesiology; yet a strong connection between them endures and illumines paths forward for the church in the third millennium.
