However, conflict within Christianity is not new. This book traces the steps by which the crisis emerged, and reveals the deeper debates within the church which underlie both the current controversy and much earlier splits." "William L. Sachs contends that the present debate did not begin with opposition to homosexuality or in advocacy of it. He argues that, like past tensions, it originates in the diverging local contexts in which the faith is practised, and their differing interpretations of authority and communion. In the aftermath of colonialism, activists and reformers have taken on prominent roles for and against the status quo. The crisis reveals a church in search of a new, global consensus about the appropriate forms of belief and mission."--BOOK JACKET.0 aA definitive moment -- The shape of early Christian unity -- When ideals encounter realities -- Reform and the power of the periphery -- Anglican tradition and local prerogative -- The triumph of indigenous Anglicanism -- The rise of Liberalism -- In search of the pure church -- Beyond warring parties?  aDescription based on print version record. 0aHomosexualityxReligious aspectsxAnglican Communion. 0aAnglican CommunionxDoctrines. 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aSachs, William L., 1947-tHomosexuality and the crisis of Anglicanism.dCambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2009z9780521851206w(DLC)  2009023522w(OCoLC)319495586403NetLibraryuhttp://www.netLibrary.com/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=304849  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c49671d49671
