Opis

This book, which is global in scope and will be of interest throughout the world, makes available for the first time a comparative study of the Constitutions, Canons, and other forms of law of the Churches in the worldwide Anglican Communion. Doe's analysis draws out the similarities and differences between them and proposes that global principles of Anglican canon law apply to all Churches in the Communion.

Recenzje

Clearly, the canons of all the dioceses could not be studied and compared, and most of the material and Dr. Doe's conclusions are based on the canon laws of the larger church bodies ... Even at that the prospect must have been daunting, and the fact that he has done it, and done it so well does him much credit ... Again Dr. Doe has written a book which should be in the library of every person involved in the canon law of the Anglican Church, but which also has much to say to the wider Christian community. Anyone with an interest in these matters cannot help but find much useful material in this book.
