The Story of the Moderators - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

David Peel, a leading United Reformed Church theologian, writes in his introduction: This is a study of a translocal ministry. The ecclesiologies of the churches which have united in the United Reformed Church (URC) have placed a great deal of emphasis upon local ministers, those who are set apart to serve discrete pastorates made up of one or more congregations. Only scant attention in our ecclesiological thinking has been paid to those whose ministries are not locally based. He continues: The focus of my interest in this study... is not translocal ministry in general, but one form of it in particular, namely, that by which churches exercise oversight (episcope) over their congregations and those who serve them. This well timed study explores what it means to be a synod moderator in the United Reformed Church, exploring the nature of what it means to be a moderator and offering a clear way forward. Essential reading for those interested in the state of the modern Church. David Peel is the author of Reforming Theology: Explorations in the Theological Traditions of the United Reformed Church (London: The United Reformed Church, 2002).
