Abstract In the recently published document Churches and Moral Discernment the Faith and Order Commission of the wcc offers an analytical tool for moral discernment processes and introduces the concept of the ‘conscience’ of the Church. Applying this tool to the moral discernment processes in the Anglican Communion leading up to the 1998 Lambeth Conference and its Resolution I.10 ‘Human Sexuality’ indicates that the moral discernment processes did not reflect the Anglican ‘conscience’, i.e. the inherited understanding of moral norms and authority. This led to the Resolution being divisive rather than uniting. The success of the 2022 Lambeth Conference in mending these division needs to be followed up by the commencement of a renewed discernment process. But it is also possible that the Anglican ‘conscience’ has changed in parts of the Communion, which would pose new challenges for the instruments of communion.

Abstract The Eastern Orthodox Church has a long history of women’s ordination to the diaconate. Equally consistent is the absence of female priesthood and female episcopate. This article inquires – theoretically, as it is not a call to action – whether there are any theological reasons for this latter absence, or whether it is based exclusively on precedent and practice. Such an inquiry first presupposes an introduction to the history of the female diaconate in the East in order to establish that Ordination is not restricted to males. Second, it necessitates a historical approach to the question of women’s ordination to the priesthood, short as this history might be. Third, it challenges theological arguments against women’s ordination from the perspective of Eastern Christology, soteriology, anthropology, sacramental theology, and the relationship between theology and culture. The article concludes with some practical considerations regarding the negative consequences of the excessive masculinization of the Church.

Khee-Vun Lin
Abstract The Promise of Anglicanism by Heaney and Sachs reframes Anglicanism from the perspective of mission, offering a positive and hopeful portrayal of an Anglican Communion presently riven by conflict. However, upon scrutiny, its notions of ‘catholicity from below’, its perception of ‘mission’, and its proposed ‘community of practice’ embody an understanding of individuality that can hinder the cultivation of the common good and subsequently, further impair the pursuit of genuine Christian fellowship within the Communion. Furthermore, these premises would contribute to the Communion’s present shift towards pluralism. The antidote then, is argued to be intentional corporate reasoning which can only come about through the tightening of current practices of conciliarity within the Communion.

Aden Cotterill
Abstract This paper examines theologically how the concept of place – particularly the dialectics of place – might shape pastoral ministry of the church. It firstly surveys a body of literature that argues that the church and its pastors ought to be committed to emplacement, a politics of inhabitation (Inge; Rumsey; Berry; Kemmis; Hauerwas; Quash; Williams). Secondly, it engages other interlocutors (O’Donovan; Lacoste; Nausner; Friedman; Gill) to demonstrate that this sound emphasis on emplacement of church ministers nevertheless risks neglecting the dialectics of place: staying and leaving, roots and routes, are also crucial elements of place. Finally, the essay offers its own contribution to the literature by proposing how the concept of the dialectics of place might be better accounted for in ministry through an emphasis on pilgrimage in the pastorate that does not neglect emplacement.
