It is central to the self-understanding of the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, and has been prominent in the work of the World Council of Churches. This book, based on the 1996 Hulsean Lectures, examines the significance of Koinonia for contemporary ecumenical theology, tracing the development of contemporary understanding in critical engagement with the thoughts of Plato, Aristotle, the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, the Cappadocian Fathers and Augustine. In each case, reflection on community life is related to actual communities in which texts were produced. The importance of conflict and the place of politics for the Koinonia that constitutes the Christian churches is a major theme throughout. Communion is seen as a gift to be received and a discipline to be cultivated in the continuing practice of ecumenism. 517 3 $aEcumenism, Christian Origins & the Practice of Communion 606 $aEcumenical movement$xHistory 606 $aChristian union$xHistory 615 0$aEcumenical movement$xHistory. 615 0$aChristian union$xHistory. 676 $a262/.001/1 700 $aSagovsky$b Nicholas$f1947-$01689388 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820958403321 996 $aEcumenism, Christian origins, and the practice of communion$94064419 997 $aUNINA
