Images of God: Reflections on Christian AnthropologyAnglican-Roman Catholic Theological Consultation in the U.S.A.'A context in which to approach many of the difficult questions that confront' the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches is presented in a document on Christian anthropology released Dec. 22 by the Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue in the United States. The national-level dialogue group said it was hoped that this report would "offer a reasonable approach within which each church can better understand the different teachings and practice of the other as regards human sexuality, Christian marriage, the ordination of women to the ministerial priesthood, Marian doctrines and devotions, and the communion of saints, and by which further studies of our teachings on these questions can be conducted in more profitable and less polemical ways." Each of those issues is discussed in the report— issues that are of central concern to the ongoing dialogue involving the two churches. The purpose of the study, a covering letter noted, was 'to identify those areas in Christian anthropology which contribute to the understanding of our relation as men and women in Christ and in Christ to one another.'
