Windsor Report: Two Observations on Its Ecumenical Content, The
Anglican Theological Review, Fall 2005 by Wright, J Robert
Conclusion
It is my contention that the Windsor Report does less than full justice to the hopes and achievements of the Anglican international dialogues with the Roman Catholic Church and with the Orthodox churches. I do not object to the Report itself. Indeed, I can affirm most of what it says, and I think it is remarkable that it was produced on such short notice. But I do think it could have offered a picture with richer nuancing and with greater flexibility for the ecumenical future, had it harvested the results of these two dialogues.
