Anglicanism and Orthodoxy 300 Years After the 'Greek College' in Oxford - Tapa dura

«'Anglicanism and Orthodoxy: 300 Years after the Greek College in Oxford' is a marvellous and timely collection which will be of particular interest to East-West ecumenists both within and beyond Anglicanism and Orthodoxy.» (John Gibaut, Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies)
«This book is both scholarly and readable and a significant contribution to the study of a period of both English and Orthodox church history which has only recently been revisited.» (Abba Seraphim, The Glastonbury Review)
«Peter Doll's book constitutes a valuable resource for those who would understand the historical context of relations between Anglicanism and Orthodoxy.» (Richard Clogg, The Times Literary Supplement)

Springing out of the Anglican Patristic revival in the seventeenth century, this College for Greek Orthodox students in Oxford enjoyed only a brief existence (1699-1705), but its history reflects a vigorous strain of ecumenical activity and theological conviction continuing to the present day. This volume collects the papers from the conference held in 2001 at Worcester College, Oxford, celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the Greek College. The engagement between Anglicanism and Orthodoxy reveals not only the common foundations in Scripture and the Fathers on which they stand but also the divergent expressions of that shared tradition, shaped as each church has been by the contingencies of history.
Relations between Anglicans and Orthodox did not stop at discussion on Biblical and Patristic theology. The papers in this collection encompass high and low politics, educational theory and practice, architecture, liturgy, ecumenism, as well as cultural imperialism and protectionism. Also included in this collection are documents related to the history of the College, among them translations of original publications previously available only in Greek. Here is to be found hope that in a better understanding of their own as well as one another's traditions, Anglicans and Orthodox may with greater confidence continue to work together towards rediscovering the unity of the Church.
