Anglican Theological Review Has Special Issue on Ritual
Diocesan Press Service. June 23, 1975 [75235]
EVANSTON, Ill. -- The Anglican Theological Review is currently publishing Number 5 in its Supplementary Series. This time the publication deals with the separate but related subjects of prayer, ritual and the spiritual life.
Essentially, the content of this special issue is the papers, responses and discussions that were central to a consultation convened last October in Washington, D.C., at the College of Preachers.
Through the cooperation of the College of Preachers and grants from the Episcopal Church Foundation, this 121-page edition appears in response to requests from many quarters of the Episcopal Church.
Editors Robert M. Cooper, professor of ethics and moral theology at Nashotah House, and Taylor W. Stevenson, professor of philosophical theology at Seabury-Western Seminary, promise the reader a glimpse of the way the task of the 15 distinguished consultants was pursued and some sense of its arduousness. They suggest, however, that, as many consultants did, readers will conclude that "the ritual of the Christian Church, and its founder, Jesus, are powers ready to hand for the seizing again of not only our own authenticity, but simplicity and wholeness in a supermarket world. "
Regular Anglican Theological Review subscribers will automatically receive this new item in the Supplementary Series. Single copies may be ordered from the Business Office, 600 Haven Street, Evanston, Illinois 60201, at $2.75 each. Discounts of 10 percent are available for quantities of 10 or more.
