Commentaire :Christian Disunity An increasing number of Catholic theologians and writers are turning their attention to the matter of Christian disunity, and to an examination of the World Council of Churches and its 'Ecumenical Movement'. The present book may be called essential background reading. It is written by a priest who has been working since the end of the war for a better mutual understanding between Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans and Protestants. Amongst other books published on this subject are two from Darton, Longman & Todd. The Churches and the Church by Fr Bernard Leeming, S.J., is a book based in the first place on his Lauriston Lectures for 1957. They developed into something like a small encyclopaedia of the ecumenical movement and the Catholic relation to it, as seen by a Catholic priest. Fr Leeming is a Professor at the Jesuit College of Heythrop in Oxfordshire, and as the author of Principles of Sacramental Theology is well known to many Christians. Pope John’s Council is the subject of a book by E. I. Watkin, providing a plain man's guide to the General Council of the Church summoned by John XXIII, for the purpose both of re-orientating the Church to the world which she has to evangelise and of considering what can be done towards the healing of Christian disunity. A short book and not expensive, it provides an outline of the previous Councils of the Church, with special attention to decisions relevant to the new Council. |
