Church as Moral Community: Ecclesiology and Ethics in Ecumenical Debate

By Lewis S. Mudge

"A major contribution providing new impetus for ecumenical inquiry. A rich and multifaceted argument for the comprehensive and global implications of particular formational processes within Christian faith communities." --Anna Marie Aargaard ..".this is a thoughtful and provocative book. It has been a long time since I read anything that seemed so hopeful about a movement that looks so difficult to resurrect in today's world. As one commentator put it, and I agree, 'If anyone can breathe new life into the ecumenical movement it is Lewis Mudge.'" --The Clergy Journal "Mudge provides a valuable contribution to the discussion of ecclesiology and ethics through his insistence that local congregations in all their diversity are the basis for building moral community....The book will be a useful resource for those who are seeking new ways to be church in a broken world." --Toronto Journal of Theology
