"This is a fresh, exciting book that opens the reader to new Insights culled from a dialogue between Orthodox-Catholic and Protestant (especially Anglican) theologies. It should be important reading for those Christians interested in Eastern Christian spirituality and for those seeking to promote ecu menical dialogue between the Eastern and Western Chris-tian Churches"

The Rev. George A. Maloney. S.J.

"Allchin writes with imaginative sympathy and persuasive enthusiasm. He is especially skillful at making surprising yet perceptive comparisons between St. Maximus the Confes-sor and Richard Hooker, or Ann Griffiths and Storets Silvan, or Fr. Benson of Cowley and the Romanian St. Calinic of Cernica... This is a timely book, intensely relevant."

The Rev. Kallistos Ware
