Saint John Henry Newman and ecumenism: an Anglican perspective

View through CrossRef
This article considers the ecumenical significance of Saint John Henry Newman’s theology for Anglicanism. It notes Newman’s reservations about Anglicanism after 1845 and Anglican suspicion of Newman’s work until recently. It argues that in three areas – his understanding of Catholicity, authority and the laity – Anglicans still need to learn from Newman. This is anchored in his organic view of faith, and in the associated notions of dynamic Catholicity and spiritual ecumenism. The article concludes that the canonization, for Anglicans, is justified by Newman’s status as a modern doctor of the Church.
