At a time of uncertainty in the quest for Christian unity, this book takes a critical look at the goals, motives and methods of ecumenical dialogue. Key Anglican ecumenists probe such issues as:

• Do we need to rethink ecumenical theology?
• Why is it important for unity to be visible?
• How should we use the Bible in theological dialogue?
• What are the implications of taking the diversity of  traditions more seriously?
• How do unity and mission connect?
• Why are bishops important to Church unity?

Members of the Church of England's Faith and Order Advisory Group re-appraise ecumenical dialogue, identify key challenges and chart a course for the future.
