Discussion of Theological Anthropology by the International Commission for Anglican

Abstract

"The Commission has met three times since the Cyprus report: at Chania, in Crete (2009), at Oxford, in the United Kingdom (2010), and most recently at at Shen Vlash, near Durrës, in Albania (2011). I shall outline the developing work of the Commission thematically rather than chronologically, as a thematic approach in itself demonstrates the remarkable convergence of priorities among the Anglican and Orthodox participants. The discussion has come to highlight several significant common themes that are felt by both groups to be indispensable to a contemporary approach to any theological understanding the human person. This convergence is demonstrated by the headings under which participants’ papers were commissioned. "
