Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays on the Early History of the Church and the Ministry The genesis of this volume must first be briefly told. In a sermon preached before the University of Cambridge on January 30, 1910, Dr J. M. Wilson, Canon of Worcester, made a strong appeal for a fresh examination of the questions which ´gather round the origin and early development of episcopacy, and the nature and degree of the sanction which it possesses.´ ´The real point´ (Canon Wilson said) ´seems to some of us to be to ascertain whether history shows that the Episcopal Churches, Greek, Roman, Anglican, and others, are so exclusively the branches of the Catholic Church that we are debarred by fundamental principles from recognising the non-Episcopal bodies as true branches of the one Catholic Church; whether men are right in saying, what is sometimes stated, that we alone have a divinely commissioned fellowship, and that others have their ministry and their sacraments from below, that is, from human appointment. Are we justified in claiming exclusive privileges? - that sacramental grace is only given through Episcopal orders? Closely connected with this is the history of the prophetic order in the Church of the first two centuries; a charismatic ministry, performing all the offices of the ministry, including the celebration of the Eucharist, yet apparently without the sanction of ordination.
