"Churches around the world have been confronted by shame and culpability in widespread revelations of child sexual abuse. In this book, Jeffrey Driver, who has served the Australian Anglican Church as both a diocesan bishop and archbishop, explores some of the underlying cultural and theological influences that may have predisposed the possibility of abuse, as well as the defensiveness and cover-ups that sometimes followed. The first responses of most churches to the revelations of abuse were, of necessity, mostly structural and programmatic. Recognizing the institutional temptation to do only enough to settle a crisis, Jeffrey Driver calls for something different from the churches. Drawing on the imagery of Holy Saturday, he encourages a deeper journey of reflection and change, for churches and church leaders to linger reflectively in the grey spaces of loss and shame long enough to hear the voice of God addressing them through the vulnerable and the wounded once more, calling the church back to itself and into a deeper, humbler relationship with the world it is called to serve." --

Sydney Anglicans, always ultra-conservative in terms of liturgy, theology and personal morality, have increasingly modelled themselves on sixteenth century English Puritanism. Over the past few decades, they have added radical congregationalism to the mix. Under Archbishop Peter Jensen they have become prominent in the leadership of the global movement that is threatening worldwide Anglican unity. Porter unpacks how Australia's largest diocese developed its ideological fervour and explores the impact it is having both in Australia and the Anglican Communion.

Die Untersuchung geht der Frage nach der Vereinbarkeit unterschiedlicher ekklesiologischer Konzeptionen innerhalb der Kirche von England im 19. Jahrhundert sowie den daraus erwachsenden Chancen und Grenzen für den heutigen ökumenischen Dialog nach. Die jeweiligen Positionen werden zunächst rekonstruiert, auf ihre Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten hin analysiert und im Anschluss daran daraufhin befragt, inwiefern es eine inhaltliche Grundlage für ihre Einigung als Teile der einen Kirche von England gibt. Abschließend wird anhand ökumenischer Basisdokumente der Gegenwart der inhaltliche Niederschlag der einzelnen Konzeptionen im Blick auf die Verwendung unterschiedlicher ekklesiologischer Paradigmen im Dialog untersucht. So lässt sich zeigen, wie hierbei Elemente aller Positionen funktionalisiert werden, ohne dass es zu einer echten Vermittlung zwischen den verschiedenen Grundausrichtungen kommt. Die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem anglikanischen Kirchenverständnis des 19. Jahrhunderts dient damit über die Diskussion der Implikationen für die mögliche innere Einheit der Kirche hinaus als Grundlage für einen Einblick in die Konsequenzen der damaligen Differenzen für den ökumenischen Dialog der Gegenwart.
