Synopsis
Who are members of the Church? This book critiques a foundational Lambeth Conference statement and its claim about who belongs to Christ’s Body.
This careful critique examines a published definition of church membership and its implications for believers, Baptism, and communion. It frames the question around the visible Church on earth and the ways in which early and later Christian writers have understood who truly belongs. The work weighs historical testimony from the Church Fathers and later writers to test whether belonging is a matter of belief, ritual, or ecclesial fellowship.
- Clear, tightly argued case against a single definition of membership as the sole gate to the Church
- Historical context drawn from patristic and later authorities to illuminate baptism, schism, and unity
- Plain language that explains complex debates about who remains in communion and why
- Practical reflections on how church leaders and readers should approach questions of belonging
Ideal for readers of church history, theology, and debates about reunion and unity within the Christian tradition.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive analysis of the historical and theological debate surrounding the question of who constitutes a member of the Christian Church. The author examines the teachings of the early Church Fathers, the decisions of Church Councils, and the writings of theologians through the centuries, to demonstrate that the Church has consistently maintained that members of the body of Christ on earth are those who have been baptised within the Church and who continue to be in communion with its legitimate ministry. The author argues that the claim of certain modern theologians that those who have been baptised outside the Church continue to be members of the Church is erroneous and contradicted by the overwhelming consensus of patristic, conciliar, and theological teaching. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the question of Church membership and the nature of the Church itself. It provides a thorough and well -documented examination of a crucial issue in ecclesiology, and its insights will challenge and inform readers of all backgrounds.
