Softcover. 99 p.; 18 cm. Contents: Preface -- Part I. The historic background, by Margaret Deanesly: 1 the intention of the Ordinal and its commentary, 2 the apostolic faith and `prophesyings' down the centuries; 3 existentialist reunion schemes and the Ordinal as part of such a scheme -- Part II. The Draft Ordinal, by Geoffrey G. Willis: introduction, 1 the preface, 2 the proposed rites of ordination, 3 the power of absolution, 4 the term `presbyter', 5 ordination by `reconciliation', 6 conclusion. -- `If we mistake not, the Scheme is the fifth report on Anglican-Methodist unity. Each report seems to us to move farther away from Anglican and nearer to Methodist principles. Evidently in the diplomatic negotiations which have been going on, the Methodists have won all along the line. The essential functions of a bishop appear to be jurisdiction, confirmation, and ordination. But the Methodist bishops under Stage One have very ill-defined functions. Methodism will therefore inherit the names, but hardly the reality, of the traditional orders of the Christian ministry. This elaborate and subtle scheme seems likely to produce little but disturbance and stupefaction among the clergy and people. Let it be abandoned before it is too late and before the Church is irremediably split into two. (p. 98 f.) Good, sewn, in orig. green wrapper. Front cover rubbed. …

Leinen. Zustand: gut. Erste Aufl. Fadengehefteter Ganzleineneinband mit geprägtem Rückentitel, Farbkopfschnitt und illustriertem Schutzumschlag. Der Umschlag nachgedunkelt, angerändert und mit vier hinterlegten Randeinrissen, das Buch selbst in gutem Erhaltungszustand. "Auf Raubtierjagd war C. G. Campbell, englischer Offizier und Arabienkenner, ausgezogen; die Beute, die er mit nach Hause brachte, war ebenso schön wie ungewöhnlich für einen Raubtierjäger: es war eine Sammlung arabischer Geschichten. Wie bei den Märchen und Geschichten der Baronin von Kamphoevener handelt es sich hier um Erzählungen, die bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt niemals schriftlich fixiert gewesen waren. In mündlicher Überlieferung wurden sie von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben, im Zelt, im Gästehaus oder am Lagerfeuer. Geschichten wurden "getauscht" wie Gastgeschenke, man erzählte dem Gast seine Geschichte im Austausch gegen eine neue. Die Kunst des Geschichtenerzählens stirbt langsam aus, denn auch die jüngere Generation der Wüstenbewohner zieht es vor, der Stimme aus dem Rundfunkgerät zu lauschen. So ist Campbells "Beute" Dokument einer jahrhundertealten aussterbenden Erzählkultur. Unser Band bringt eine Auswahl aus den in England erschienenen Bänden "Tales from the Arab Tribes" und "From Town and Tribe". Es sind, zum Unterschied von den meisten anderen, stärker an "Tausend und eine Nacht" gemahnenden Erzählungen dieser englischen Sammelbände, phantasievoll-verschmitzte Volksschwänke und Schelmengeschichten, die bei allem Realismus doch nicht ihren poetischen Grundcharakter, bei aller Gewagtheit doch niemals ihre natürliche Anmut, umgekehrt aber auch bei aller Ursprünglichkeit nicht ihre kunstverständige Wirkungsabsicht verleugnen. Mögen ihre Motive auch denen der Volksgeschichten anderer Stämme und Völker verwandt sein - ihr Wesen scheint sich in einer besonderen Mischung von Einfallsdichte und Scharfsinn, von Schwermut und Sinnenfreude, Wärme und Heiterkeit jedem Vergleich zu entziehen." (Verlagstext) In deutscher Sprache. 226, (6) pages. 8° (118 x 192mm). …
