For at least the past two decades, international Anglicanism has been gripped by a crisis of identity: what is to be the dynamic between autonomy and interdependence? Where is authority to be located? How might the local relate to the international? How are the variously diverse national churches to be held together ‘in communion’? "A Still More Excellent Way" presents a comprehensive account of the development and nature of metropolitical authority and the place of the ‘province’ within Anglican polity, with an emphasis on the contemporary question of how international Anglicanism is to be imagined and take shape. The first comprehensive historical examination of the development of metropolitical authority and provincial polity within international Anglicanism, the book offers hope to those wearied by the deadlock and frustration around questions of authority which have dogged Anglicanism.
In September 2017 members of General Synod meeting in Maroochydore, Queensland passed a motion asking Standing Committee to 'facilitate a respectful conversation in our church by means of a collection of essays on marriage and same-sex relationships that explore scriptural and theological issues relating toA.The doctrine of marriage expressed in the formularies of the Anglican Church of AustraliaB.Our current Australian context exploring the relationship between the state's definition of marriage and the church's doctrine of marriageC.Key Old Testament and New Testament texts on sex, marriage and friendshipD.Scripture and hermeneuticsE.A theology of blessingF.A theology of desireG.Godly disagreement on this issueH.The cases for and against same-sex marriage and/or the blessing of same-sex unions.'This book is part of an ongoing conversation. Doctrine Commission members have found this as much a listening process as the articulation of ideas. We hope that the many people who are looking for careful ethical consideration about same sex marriage will find this book helpful.
