Explore how a 1900 Anglican conference framed the meaning and ritual of Holy Communion, through diverse theologians and careful debate.

This volume captures the proceedings of a Round Table Conference on Ritual, held at Fulham Palace in October 1900. It aims to record the range of theological opinion on the Divine Gift in the Holy Communion and its expression in ritual, without proposing new formulas. Readers follow the structure of sessions, from preliminary talks to the conclusions and minutes, and encounter the key statements of belief submitted by conference members.

Structured to help readers form their own view, the book includes introductions to the topics discussed, the ritual questions raised, and how the various positions were presented and debated. It presents both the practical details of how the conference operated and the philosophical questions at the heart of Eucharistic theology in the Anglican tradition.

See how the conference planned and conducted doctrinal discussions, including time limits and procedural rules.
Read the core statements of belief offered by different scholars and clergy, as the group sought common ground.
Examine the range of perspectives on the presence of Christ in the Eucharist and how it is reflected in ritual practice.
Learn how editors and moderators framed the debate to illuminate ongoing questions for Anglican worship.

Ideal for readers of Anglican theology, church history, and liturgical studies who want a window into early 20th‑century debates about Holy Communion.
