ARCIC

ARCIC III is convinced that, just as a return to the sources of tradition in Scripture, liturgy, and the Patristic and Scholastic periods (ressourcement) has been renewing both Anglican and Roman Catholic theology since the middle of the last century, so critical self-examination through the prism of ecumenical dialogue and receptive learning can deepen the renewal and participation of the Church in the Trinitarian communion of God.

The Caroline Divines positioned themselves as ardent practitioners of the Church of England’s liturgical order, spiritual discipline, canonical resources, and homiletic traditions.

Episcopalians and Roman Catholics have moved closer together on opposition to the death penalty.

ARCIC: The church is “a community in which the Holy Spirit is alive and active.”

It is my belief that as we enter more fully into relationship, in common ministry, old difficulties will be seen in a new light and be given a different and more hopeful context for resolution. My time on pilgrimage has given me a renewed vision and a new energy for the task that lies ahead.

With unclear lines of authority, can Anglicans and Roman Catholics share in the mission of the Word and kingdom of God in their respective contexts?

From the way some Anglicans talk, few would gather that we have spent nearly 50 years as great enthusiasts for primacy.

The Rev. Tony Currer: ARCIC will look at “how far we’ll be using the tool of ‘receptive ecumenism.’”
