About this Book

Part of One Church offers a classical understanding of the Church of England’s identity and its place as part of the ‘One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church’. 

Roger Greenacre explains the theological principles behind Anglo-Catholic views of the ordination of women, addressing issues that remain topical and significant. Though a supporter of the women’s ordination himself, he articulates with creative courtesy the theological and ecclesiological reasoning why so many cannot accept it. 

Roger’s frame of reference is wide: his thinking and writing are deeply enriched by the Anglican tradition and his hope is that its distinctive heritage might be brought into communion with the Church Catholic.
