Virginia Miller and David Moxon, "Leaning into the Spirit: Ecumenical Perspectives on Discernment and Decision-making in the Church (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019)

New Books in Australian and New Zealand Studies

Religions, indeed those of the same religion, getting along? Maybe. Dr Virginia Miller edits and contributes to an essay collection on how this thorny issue can be approached - and we've even recorded on Easter Saturday - the bridging day between despair and hope for Christians.

The book: Leaning into the Spirit - Ecumenical Perspectives on Discernment and Decision-making in the Church (Palgrave Macmillan 2019).

This book contains fresh insights into ecumenism and, notwithstanding claims of an “ecumenical winter,” affirms the view that we are actually moving into a “new ecumenical spring.” It offers new theological insights in the areas of Christology, Pneumatology and Trinitarian theology, and discusses developments in ecumenism in the USA, UK, Australia, India, and Africa, as well as in ecumenical institutions such as the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Anglican Roman Catholic Commission (ARCIC)

Dr Virginia Miller is a research fellow at the Centre for Public and Contextual Theology at Charles Sturt University, Canberra, Australia.
