Description
Costly Communion: Ecumenical Initiative and Sacramental Strife in the Anglican Communion seeks to engage with Anglicanism's theological responses to the onset of the twilight of empire and to explore the diversity of Anglican sacramental and ecumenical controversies during the twentieth century. From sacramental initiation and the doctrine of Eucharistic sacrifice to church order and the historic episcopate, Costly Communion offers insights into Anglo-Catholic and Evangelical attempts to resolve the divisions provoked by the impact of the Oxford Movement from the 1830s. In its engagement with sub-Saharan African contextualization of the Anglican, moreover, Costly Communion analyses the unanticipated threat that Anglican diversity now poses for the unity of the Anglican Communion.

"In Costly communion, Mark Chapman and Jeremy Bonner gather a number of expert scholars to investigate issues of 'ecumenical initiative and sacramental strife in the Anglican communion'.

It is particularly recommended to those interested in Africa's role in ecumenical controversies." Justus D. Doenecke, New College of Florida, in: Anglican & Episcopal History, Volume 89.4 (2020).
