- PublicationA Time to Celebrate Achievements … and to Tackle the Next Big Challenge – Dialogue(Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust, 2013-10-12) Fry, Ian; Fry, IanThis paper is written in the context of a celebration of the achievements of Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust and its founder, Swamy Chaturvedi. It discusses the challenge for governments that have responsibility for education, training and community services at all levels in a nation in which one in every five people is a child under ten, another one in four are under 20, only one in three people are in the prime working period of 20 to 45 years of age, and only one in five are in the senior management pool of 45 to 65 which provides most political leaders. It notes that they come under pressure from commercial interests, especially those in the non-essential consumer goods sector, tourism and hospitality, and arms and defence procurement industries. It then refers to the added strains caused by the inversion of relationships between the White Western Christian Bloc and the World Majority Peoples, and the need for development of greater community cohesion through programs of dialogue between each of its faiths.

- PublicationAnglican Stories: Bible, Liturgy, Church(Cambridge University Press, 2014-05) McGowan, AndrewWhile Anglicans differ on many issues, they share not only a common history but a common interest in telling and retelling it. Essays in the present issue exemplify the concentration of these stories on three areas: the Bible, Liturgy and the Church itself. Historical or systematic attempts to define Anglicanism founder if attempts to identify essential elements are too prescriptive; but the shared reality and reflection on it constitute a characteristic form of Anglican theological practice.
- PublicationAnglicans and Orthodox: The Cyprus Agreed Statement(Cambridge University Press, 2010) Reid, DuncanA report on the recent Agreed Statement by the International Commission for Anglican - Orthodox Theological Dialogue, 'The Church of the Triune God'.
- PublicationAnglican–Roman Catholic Dialogue on Ethics and Moral Theology: An Anglican Perspective.(2012-05) Sherlock, CharlesThis article traces the path of official dialogue between Anglicans and Roman Catholics on moral life. A Joint Commission on Marriage worked from 1967 to 1975: its findings were welcomed by Lambeth 1978, and taken up in Canada. ARCIC’s Life in Christ (1994) pioneered ecumenical dialogue on ethics, extended ARCICs method, and reached a significant level of agreement. Subsequent ARCIC work has deepened the dialogues method, notably in relation to eschatology. But differences over moral life within and between the two traditions since then mean that further work is needed a major task of ARCIC III.

- PublicationAre Bishops an Ecumenical Problem?

- PublicationBakhtin on the Nature of Dialogue: Some Implications for Dialogue between Christian Churches(Finnish Society for the Study of Religion, 2013) Reid, DuncanThe paper offers a contribution to the discussion of the role of intercultural issues in dialogue between Christian churches representing differing doctrinal positions. It argues that ecumenical dialogues have in the past focused on doctrinal issues at the expense of cultural differences, which may be just as significant in the relationships, including understandings and misunderstandings, between churches. It proposes that expertise on intercultural communication be also part of ecumenical dialogue. This argument shall be developed in several stages: first, a discussion of belief statements as cultural artefacts; second, a discussion of a recent study of the dynamics of intercultural communication, a study that draws on Bakhtin’s concept of dialogue; and finally the proposal for the application to ecumenical dialogue of the study’s methodological approach to intercultural communication.

- PublicationBridegroom mysticism; Ephesians 5:15-33 in the light of Kashmir Shaivism(Leuven Peeters, 2020) Dupuche, JohnThe Song of Songs and Ephesians 5:15-33 place God or Jesus as the husband, and the People or the Church as the bride. This article asks if there is a “bridegroom mysticism” to balance the bridal mysticism (Brautmystik) that was so prominent among the Beguines? To answer this question the article presents some elements from Kashmir Shaivism, an ancient Indian tradition that flourished around 1000 CE, and by the process of comparative theology brings to the fore themes and perspectives that may have gone unnoticed in Ephesians 5:15-33. On the basis of a deepened understanding of the Pauline text, the article goes on to elaborate a “bridegroom spirituality” that can help enhance relationships between men and women and lead to a transformed attitude towards the world.

- PublicationCatholic feminism: pain, prayer and paradox(NewSouth, 2012-09) Massam, Katharine; Lindsay, Elaine; Scarfe, JanetThe chapter traces the discussion of ordination of women within Australian Catholic feminism with a focus on the 1970s through to the 1990s. It highlights the work of Rosemary Goldie and the theological perspective of Thérèse of Lisieux alongside the development of the groups Ordination of Catholic Women and Women and the Australian Church. It explores the common hope for a renewal of priestly ministry, and the conviction that unites disparate Catholic opinion that the ordained priesthood for women is not a feminist end in itself, as the church is not an end in itself, but exists to enable God's mission, the transformation of the world.
