“…They always involve complex gains and losses; they always leave misapprehension, disappointment and failure on both sides of the divide. 110 There might, indeed, be an argument for making failure a more central part of any reflective theological method realistic about human beings and their social worlds. 111 Still, sympathetic as I am both to the rigor of Higton's work and the irenic, humane manner in which it is always conducted-which supposes the best of all interlocutors, and which resists playing the player rather than the ball-I want to sound a note of caution about the language of "both sides," for similar reasons to Enya Doyle.…”

Incompleteness, Imperial Legacies, and Anglican Fudge: How Concerns about Gender and Sexuality Affect How Anglicans Do Theology

Gender and sexuality are potent flashpoints showing up deep fissures in Anglican ecclesiology and identity. There has been growing attention to the power imbalances within Anglican hierarchies. Whether in African leaders’ public disavowals of what they consider Western Christian backsliding, or in social media discussions about the Anglican churches’ positions on their clergy’s and ordinands’ sex lives, old orders of authority are no longer operating unchallenged. Here, Anglican self-understanding of itself as a tradition characterized by comprehensiveness and broadness is assessed through the lens of decolonial theology, interrogating norms of power. In a context of continued dismantling of imperial structures of power and decreased toleration of the maintenance of old hierarchies associated with empire, the concept of unity as a good in itself is likely, where this is perceived to stem from a desire to uphold imperial control, to be challenged.

‘The Word of God taking up space’: Assessing the christological analogy for scripture

This essay provides an assessment of the christological analogy for scripture, particularly for its usefulness in aid of a theological ontology of scripture. This analogy implies that scripture has something like ‘two natures’ – human and divine – like Jesus Christ has two natures. I argue that assessment of the analogy has been impaired by a lack of clarity in its application. On the one hand, the ambiguity relates to a tendency to apply the analogy for the (modernist) purposes of securing epistemic authority. On the other hand, I show that there are in fact three distinct forms of the analogy, each implying different things about the ‘twoness’ of scripture as well as its unity. After outlining the three forms of the analogy, I critically assess the unity they ascribe to scripture by means of the analogy.
