Description

What holds the Anglican Communion together and what could restore it?In Anglican Conciliarism, Phil Ashey offers a clear examination of how Anglicans might "find each other again" around a shared confession of faith, common mission, and a biblically grounded order for decision-making.Drawing on the actual laws, constitutions, and canons of Anglican Churches across the globe, Ashey makes the case that Anglicanism has always been shaped by a distinctive conciliar approach, episcopally led, synodically governed, and accountable to the authority of Scripture. Yet this conciliar way of life has never been practiced at the global level of the Communion. The result, he argues, is the "deficit of authority" behind today's doctrinal conflicts and fractured unity.
This book traces:The historical and theological roots of Anglican conciliarismHow conciliar decision-making operates in the Church of England and other global provincesThe breakdown of conciliar practices at the Communion levelA proposed model for a renewed, authoritative, global Anglican councilA comparison of TEC and ACNA around core principles of Anglican governance
Accessible, deeply researched, and grounded in Scripture and canon law, Anglican Conciliarism is essential reading for Anglican leaders, clergy, and laypeople seeking a path toward lasting unity rooted in faith, order, and mission.
