Synopsis

A careful guide to how Anglican orders are viewed by the Eastern Orthodox and what it would take to move toward closer ties. This study examines the questions surrounding intercommunion, the idea of economy in church relations, and how Anglican Sacraments might be received within Orthodox life without compromising core beliefs. Drawing on historical debates, scholarly analysis, and the perspectives of Eastern Orthodox theologians, it offers a clear look at the path toward possible reconciliation.

In clear terms, the book explains how the question of Anglican orders has shaped dialogue between the two communions. It discusses the balance between doctrinal unity and practical steps that could bring churches closer while respecting each tradition’s integrity. The work also surveys key arguments about the priesthood, sacraments, and authority within a framework of ecumenical conversation.




  • Foundations for interchurch dialogue and what “reunion” could mean in practice

  • The difference between dogmatic union and economic recognition of orders

  • How Orthodox theologians have approached Anglican ordinations and sacraments

  • Historical and contemporary positions that shape ecumenical policy



Ideal for readers of church history, ecumenism, and Anglican-Orthodox relations who want a grounded, non-sensational overview.
