Vatican II has become a place-marker in the ecclesiastical and ideological geography of contemporary Catholicism. Yet forty years later, few who refer to the council and its teachings, whether with approval or criticism, demonstrate a solid grasp of those teachings. Even fewer are aware of the important debates that have taken place in the past four decades regarding the council's authentic reception and implementation of its documents.

Part of One Church offers a classical understanding of the Church of England’s identity and its place as part of the ‘One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church’. Roger Greenacre explains the theological principles behind Anglo-Catholic views of the ordination of women, addressing issues that remain topical and significant. Though a supporter of the women’s ordination himself, he articulates with creative courtesy the theological and ecclesiological reasoning why so many cannot accept it. Roger’s frame of reference is wide: his thinking and writing are deeply enriched by the Anglican tradition and his hope is that its distinctive heritage might be brought into communion with the Church Catholic.
