Mary for Time & Eternity centres our attention at various points on the spectrum Mary – Ecumenism: particular attention is given to the Blessed Virgin’s increasing importance in the various ecumenical dialogues such as ARCIC – Anglicans with Roman Catholics, Roman Catholics with Lutherans and with Methodists, and the interdenominational Groupe des Dombes. Special attention is given to the prayed mariology of heart and mind as exemplified by both Orthodox and Catholic theologians, and is drawn also to Mary’s place, not always apparent, in Protestant thought as well as in non-Christian religions. There are essays on specific ecumenists especially in relation to Mary, and analyses of the way in which mariology has been approached, especially by the Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary itself. 368 pages – Publication July 2007 – £20.00. Available direct from Gracewing Publishing, 2 Southern Avenue Leominster HA6 0QF. Please indicate that you wish to buy from the ESBVM’s stock that is held at Gracewing. Thank you. |
