The Status of Ecumenical Councils in Anglican ThoughtDr. Henry ChadwickA paper drafted for the Anglican/Orthodox Joint Doctrinal Discussion, with protocol number AOJDD-19 "This Anglican attitude to general councils expresses profound respect. At the same time the decisions of the great councils do not relieve the modern theologian of the need to think. Just as the fathers of Nicaea and Chalcedon found that they could not safeguard the apostolic tradition by merely repeating the words of scripture, so also the contemporary theologian cannot defend the truth in the 20th century by merely repeating the definitions of the fifth."Anglican/Orthodox Joint Doctrinal Discussion1972Texttext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://iarccum.org/doc/425ARCIC 99-1https://iarccum.org/doc/425enARCIC-I : Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission I : Study papers© 1972, Henry Chadwick
