Summary: Helpful essays in ecumenical studies
Comment: This is one of those tiny books that comes along and sets some of the foundational concepts of ecclessiology in terms more useful than large tomes and pages. If you have an interest in Orthodox-Catholic relations, this booklet is very useful. I would also suggest that you take a look at John Meyendorff's "Rome, Constantinople, Moscow". It is, along with his other works, a brilliant synthesis of the Orthodox position in relation the West in an understanding, non-combative, manner.

But I would not pay more than $$$$$ for it. It is published as a softcover for $$$$$$.

This is part of the introduction:
"The Essays comprising this publication, written on different occasions, address two aspects of Orthodox ecclessiology. They were prepared for discussion by memebers of the Orthodox-ROman Catholic Bilateral Consultation at its meetings of October 1986 and 1990...The issues of primacy and conciliarity have been correctly identified as the pivotal issues in the dialogue between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. Both Churches acknowledge the cinciliar nature of the Church and the principle of primacy in church administration. However, there is no consensus between the two Churches on the meening of these terms...THese essays attempt to articulate the Orthodox understanding of primacy and conciliarity as they are experienced in the Orthodox Church."

Enjoy!
