Excerpt:

This briefing paper offers an introduction to and evaluation of the ARCIC report Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ (2005) which FOAG sees as the opening stage of a conversation between Anglicans and Roman Catholics on the subject of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The paper begins with a consideration of the two Marian dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church and asks why they have been a cause of division between the Roman Catholic Church and Christians of other traditions. It then outlines the background to Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ in the ARCIC process and offers a brief overview of the contents of the report. The paper then sets out those aspects of the report that the Faith and Order Advisory Group (FOAG) welcomed, and outlines a number of areas on which it had concerns and recommended further joint study. Finally, it offers some suggestions about how the Church of England should respond to the report.

The substantive work of FOAG, on which this paper draws, is set out in the collection of essays by members and staff of FOAG Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ (ARCIC II) [GS Misc 872], which was circulated to the previous Synod and is available on the Church of England website.
