Omschrijving
This book examines the writings of the Caroline Divines in the context of modern ecumenical dialogue, notably that of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) to ask whether their arguments are still valid, and indeed if whether they can contribute to contemporary ecumenical progress.
"His (Langham's) deep engagement with this vast, often overlooked corpus of writings is a gesture of sincere offering and direct encounter [...] This imaginative book begins with a commendation from Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, who reminds readers that “the search for unity is a task of intense scholarship, but more than that, of imagination, creativity, and holiness.” It ends with the hope that deeper reading by Anglicans in the riches of our tradition in this school will “inspire new generations of theologians as they seek to deepen the real but imperfect communion that exists between Anglicans and Roman Catholics.”"
- Richard J. Mammana, The Living Church
Mark Langham studied classics at Cambridge, and studied for the priesthood in the Venerable English College in Rome. After ordination, he worked at Westminster Cathedral, where he was successively Precentor and Sub-Administrator, and in 1996 became parish priest of St Mary of the Angels, in Bayswater, a busy multi-cultural parish. In 2001 he returned to Westminster Cathedral as Administrator, where he forged many ecumenical links, and was honorary member of the chapters of both Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral. In 2008 Mark worked in Rome at the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, where he was responsible for relations between the Vatican and the Anglican Communion and Methodist World Conference. During that time he was secretary to the official dialogues between the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion (ARCIC), oversaw the visits by Archbishops of Canterbury to Rome, and provided the BBC commentary for the visit of Pope Benedict to England in 2010. In 2013 his Doctorate entitled ‘The Caroline Divines and the Catholic Church: A Contribution to Current Ecumenical Debate’ was awarded the Premio Bellarmino by the Gregorian University. In that year he returned to Cambridge, as chaplain to the Catholic members of the university at Fisher House.
