[The Living Church] January 15, 2006--The newest document from the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC), titled Mary: Grace and Hope in Christ, charts new territory in the 35-year history of the dialogue between the two communions. Not only is this the first ARCIC document to focus on theological issues surrounding a particular person (there has been nothing specifically on Christology so far), it is the first to move from broad topics (e.g. the Eucharist, ministry, authority, salvation, etc.) to an issue as particular as the Blessed Virgin Mary. As in the past, this convocation of ARCIC continued its method of seeking to “get behind” the language forged in the context of a divided Church, searching both to recover the language of an undivided Church and to offer new language that is devoid of the polemics that often arise when theology is done in schism.
