Document Details : Title: The Church as Communion Subtitle: Articulating a Vision for Ecclesial Unity in the New Millennium Author(s): TANNER, Mary Journal: Louvain Studies Volume: 33 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2008 Pages: 87-97 DOI: 10.2143/LS.33.1.2034338 Abstract : This article traces the use of the concept of 'koinonia' (communion) in the work of the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches. It argues that there is still much to be gained from setting the seemingly intractable issues of ministry, collegiality and primacy within an understanding of the Church as communion. Such an approach is most likely to provide a motivating vision of the unity of the Church for the next millennium. |
