Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the extent to which the laity should be involved in church governance, focusing on the limits within which they should be admitted to further powers and functions in church councils. Drawing on evidence from the Bible, early Christianity, and the practices of churches in different regions, the author argues that, with the exception of the power of veto over the decisions of bishops and clergy, the laity should be allowed to speak, vote, and assist in carrying out decisions made in synods as freely and fully as the clerical members. This view is supported by the author's analysis of the "mind of the Primitive Church," as evidenced in conciliar proceedings and other historical documents. The author's insights provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on the role of the laity in the governance of the Christian church.
