Synopsis

The Call to Unity gathers the Bedell Lectures on ecumenism, tracing a vision for unity across Christian communities and offering a historical map for renewal.

This nonfiction collection presents arguments for the episcopate’s role in unity, the need for mutual respect among traditions, and the Anglican Communion’s unique place in forging a broader Christian fellowship. It also includes discussions of plans for organizational unity and the aspiration for a visible, worldwide Church that respects diverse practices while pursuing shared faith.

  • Learn how church leaders argue for a united body of Christ through cooperation, mutual recognition, and shared rites.
  • Explore the historical context of early 20th‑century ecumenism and the Anglican contribution to rethinking Christian unity.
  • Understand proposed structures and plans for interdenominational cooperation, including councils and cooperative ministries.
  • See why commitment to holiness, faith, and a common life is seen as essential to lasting fellowship.
Ideal for readers of religious history, church leadership, and ecumenical studies seeking a thoughtful look at unity in a divided world.
