 | | Theologian Donna Hailson calls it cafeteria religion, in which people create their own religion piecemeal out of the beliefs and practices of a global cornucopia of options. | | | This was the cantus firmus of this conference organized by the Association for Church Renewal, which resolved not to abandon the troubled mainline churches. | | | However, a month earlier he chaired a preparatory meeting of confessing theologians that issued a powerful appeal in a pastoral letter to their denominations' faithful imploring them to avoid schisms. |

| | The Unconditional Covenant in Contemporary Debate |
| | Prominent theologians in many of the reputedly conservative Reformed and Presbyterian churches in North America are attacking the cardinal truths of salvation by grace alone -- all of them -- on the basis of the doctrine of a conditional covenant. | | | The gospel-truth of justification by faith alone as the core of the body of doctrines that teach salvation by the grace of God alone is the fundamental difference between the true church of Christ and the Roman Catholic Church. | | | The theologians and the churches may reexamine their confession of a conditional covenant. |

| | Theologians who exclude the pope from the universal Church on account of schism and heresy logically adopted the tetrarchical theory, which consigns the supreme jurisdiction of the Church to the four Oriental Patriarchs, minus the pope, whose primacy of honor passed from Rome to Constantinople with the change of empire at the time of Charlemagne. | | | Orthodox theologians say that the ancient translators by this version wished to show that the true Church of Christ is recognized by its collegial character. | | | Mogila was a Wallachian theologian whose comprehensive survey of the Greek Orthodox Church was formally approved by the foremost patriarchs in 1643, re-approved by the Synod of Jerusalem in 1672, and is now a primary witness of Eastern Orthodoxy. |

| | Renewal theology not only focuses on doctrine, but also the “transforming glory of God.” According to Horton-Parker, “It provides a ‘witness of presence,’ the ‘always more’ element of the Holy Spirit.” Horton-Parker’s hope for the journal is a growth in awareness and scholarship pertaining to the revitalizing presence of the Holy Spirit in today’s church. | | | According to Horton-Parker, Pentecostal theologians are studying Eastern Orthodoxy and conversing with Roman Catholics, non-liturgical churches are discovering the beauty of liturgy, and liturgical churches are discovering the freedom of worship in the Spirit. | | | Renewal theology also shows promise in defining the church’s nature and purpose in light of the challenges and spiritual hunger of postmodern culture. |

| | What these theologians sought was a spiritual and intellectual communion with Christianity in its most vital moments as transmitted to us in its classic texts, a communion which would nourish, invigorate, and rejuvenate twentieth-century Catholicism. | | | In sum, for the ressourcement theologians theology involved a "return to the sources" of Christian faith, for the purpose of drawing out the meaning and significance of these sources for the critical questions of our time. | | | During this period (1930-1950), a broad intellectual and spiritual movement arose within the European Catholic community, largely in response to the secularism that lay at the core of the crisis. |

| | The Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar alerted the Church to the Marian principle of the Church, as a corrective to an over-emphasis on the Petrine or institutional dimension. | | | These two can be illustrated in the Prefaces for the feast of Immaculate Conception and Assumption in which these dogmas are seen in parallel relation to Christ and to the Church. | | | But we need to remember why St. John of the Cross wrote these two classics of spirituality: it was because people did not understand what was happening to them, and they resisted or tried to do it their own way, and so were seriously slowed down on the journey to God, or even went astray. |

| | Commonweal: YOUNG THEOLOGIANS - Between a rock & a hard place |
| | With relatively few exceptions, theologians under the age of fifty are noticeably absent from the broader public debate, both within the church and in society at large. | | | Many bishops have reason to be dismayed that some Catholic theology is insufficiently Catholic, deeply critical-even dismissive-of the church's teachings on ordained ministry, its necessary role in the church's life, the unique salvific role of Jesus Christ, and life issues such as abortion and euthanasia, to cite but a few. | | | At the most practical level, young theologians need jobs and-as Catholic colleges and universities represent a large market-will do what is necessary to obtain them, for reasons both good and bad. |
