Synopsis
Could Christian unity be possible only by bringing Rome back into the conversation? This study argues that it must be central to any real unity.
Edmund Smith Middleton surveys historical and ecclesiastical ideas about unity, authority, and the role of Rome in uniting separated Christian bodies. It weighs proposals from Lambeth and other reforming movements, and explains how the ancient threefold ministry and apostolic succession shape a Catholic view of unity. The book posits that without Rome, a true, lasting unity remains out of reach.
- Clarifies what unity means across Protestant, Anglican, and Catholic lines
- Examines the limits of conferences and temporary accords versus lasting authority
- Outlines how ordination, ministry, and creeds relate to a united church
- Provides historical context for the central claim that Rome must be part of any real solution
Ideal for readers of church history, ecumenism, and the enduring questions about church authority and unity.
