Probably the best in terms of a viable Anglican position. On a slightly different angle I would recomend Miroslav Volf's "After Our Likeness" where he actually defends a free church ecclisiology. In it he also dialogues and critiques Ratzinger and Zizoulas on Trinity and Church.Matt Purmorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748785478662592927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-69368939753737483882007-11-15T13:28:00.000-05:002007-11-15T13:28:00.000-05:00"The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity" -- not the who..."The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity" -- not the whole thing mind you, but relevant sections.

Perhaps, engage with the worship? i.e. don't neglect the 'eyes of the nous', even as you feed the logic of the mind.<BR/><BR/>Go well and God bless,<BR/><BR/>RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-58172774229040308242007-11-14T09:42:00.000-05:002007-11-14T09:42:00.000-05:00Kyle,Great blog, post and question.I personally be...Kyle,<BR/>Great blog, post and question.<BR/>I personally believe that the Church is us. Those who put their faith in Jesus Christ and become obedient disciples of Him. Obedience fiath would be confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior of our lives, repenting from that old way of life of the world (yes we will sin but we are under the law of grace), baptism (Romans 6:1-6 talks about it related to grace) and the MOST IMPORTANT THING IS LOVING GOD WITH ALLL OF OUR HEART, SOUL, STRENGTH, MIND, SECOND IS LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR AS OUR SELF. We are the church. You and me. It isn't a building we go to. It isn't a sactuary we worship in on Sunday or Wed. It is you and I paid with the highest price of Jesus Christ. Cherish it. Love it. Live it. <BR/>I have put you post on my favorites because your blog challenges my faith and you ask questions that are real, that Christians need to ask. <BR/>May God bless you and your faith in ways you have never known before.preachermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922837614859997243noreply@blogger.com
