Becoming a Bishop
T.& T.Clark Ltd (Verlag)
978-0-567-65727-5 (ISBN)
Paul Avis offers a fascinating account of the ministerial identity of the bishop, and in particular the tasks and roles of episcopal ministry. Placing the Bishop within his wider ecclesiological framework, Avis illuminates the role of the individual in episcopal ministry. The book sets the vital work of a Bishop within an ecclesiological framework: the Bishop in the Anglican Communion, within the Church of Christ, within the purposes of God.
Paul Avis has served as the General Secretary of the Church of England's Council for Christian Unity, Theological Consultant to the Anglican Communion Office, London, and Canon Theologian of Exeter Cathedral. He is an honorary professor in the Department of Theology and Religion, University of Exeter, a Chaplain to HM Queen Elizabeth II and editor-in-chief of the journal Ecclesiology.
