Die un-vollendete Reformation
- Default Title
Description
[The Unfinished Reformation. On the Conciliar Fellowship of the Churches]The title of the book advocates the thesis: the anniversary in 2017 is less an occasion to celebrate a successful Reformation but rather an opportunity to take the unfinished Reformation forward. Unfinished it is because Luther aimed at a root-and-branch renewal of the whole church. Like Melanchthon he hoped that there could be held a "general free Christian council". Instead of this the Peace of Augsburg in 1555 sealed the division of Western Christianity, and the Reformation remained unfinished. In the first part Link discusses the conciliar approaches of the Reformation period and then sheds a light on the new conciliar impulses of the assemblies of the World Council of Churches (since 1948), the Second Vatican Council and the Pan-Orthodox Council (2016). The second part addresses the core issue: What is the aim of Ecumenism?
