Lionel S. Thornton and Scripture as ‘the divine mind’
For L.S. Thornton, “what is given to us in the gospels is the revealed Word of God, whether verbally identical with Christ’s spoken word or not.”
Bowdlerized Catholicism
If “No Covenant,” what? How do Anglicans express a sound doctrine of the Church without competent instruments of unity?
Sufficient and required?
By Mary Tanner. What is it that constitutes recognisable identity amidst the myriad particularities of time and space?
Two Communion cultures
By Peter M. Doll. Here is the challenge the Covenant poses to the churches of the Anglican Communion: to commit themselves to a deeper fellowship with one another.
Spatial Catholicity
By Mark D. Chapman. Conflict over what is necessary to salvation is part of what it is to be a catholic Christian. The local needs therefore to relate to the universal. Catholicity cannot be limited purely to one’s own context.
Cranmer’s elegance and the wondrous exchange

By Michael Poon. Accountability and interdependence express our communal life: “one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father” (Eph. 4:4-6).
