The collection of essays in this book provides a forum for some of those who have come to know him over those years to offer their reflection on issues to do with inter-church relations. It does so against the broader canvas of international developments in ecumenism. With contributors from the Irish Inter-Church meeting and the Irish School of Ecumenics, the Corrymeela community and the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, the World Alliance of Reformed Churches as well as from current and past leaders of churches, this book is a valuable contribution to reviewing how the changing patterns of relationship that are emerging in the new social, cultural and political developments, north and south of the border, are impacting on inter-church relations. |

| Publisher Description: Inter-Church Relations: Developments and Perspectives celebrates the long-lasting commitment, enthusiasm and sense of joy that Bishop Anthony Farquhar has brought to inter-Church relations over the twenty-five years of his episcopate. It discusses aspects of contemporary relations by presenting recent developments in international dialogue and networking among Churches. Cardinal Kasper, in his contribution to this work, points to a new spirit of cooperation and understanding among Church communities, attributing this development to the commitment and dedication of people like Bishop Farquhar. Covering various inter-Church forums and dialogues, it offers theological considerations on inter-Church relations and reflects on practical and spiritual ecumenism. I am very pleased that this publication has been put together We need to be reminded continuously that inter-Church relations are developing. New things are happening at both official and local levels. There is always room for further reflection and openness to new perspectives, Cardinal Se n Brady. |
