The vindication of this thesis has implications also for ecumenical reconciliation between episcopal and non-episcopal communions occupying the same geographical territory. The author compares the approaches and insights of both Vatican II and Lambeth 89 on this issue, and then proceeds to a historical and theological analysis of the development of the threefold Order in the early centuries, which he illuminates with the aid of contemporary sociological and cultural theory, in particular that of Durkheim. Key themes in the development of Order are identified in the classical texts of Ignatius of Antioch, Irenaeus, Cyprian, Tertullian and the Church Order literature. The author's conclusion is that we need both to break the geographical and jurisdictional mould in which our understanding of church Order has become set. 410 0$aStudies in Christian mission ;$vv. 6. 606 $aIndigenous church administration$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aChurch polity$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aBishops$xAppointment, call, and election$xHistory 606 $aAnglican Communion$xMissions 606 $aEpiscopacy and Christian union 606 $aChristianity and culture 615 0$aIndigenous church administration$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aChurch polity$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aBishops$xAppointment, call, and election$xHistory. 615 0$aAnglican Communion$xMissions. 615 0$aEpiscopacy and Christian union. 615 0$aChristianity and culture. 676 $a262/.12/09 700 $aBrent$b Allen$0152831 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163130003321 996 $aCultural episcopacy and ecumenism$92868569 997 $aUNINA
