Conciliarism is one of the oldest and most essential means of decisionmaking in the history of the Christian Church. Indeed, as a leading Orthodox theologian Alexander Schmemann states, 'Before we understand the place and the function of the council in the Church, we must, therefore, see the Church herself as a council.' Paul Valliere tells the story of councils and conciliar decisionmaking in the Christian Church from earliest times to the present. Drawing extensively upon the scholarship on conciliarism which has appeared in the last halfcentury, Valliere brings a broad ecumenical perspective to the study and shows how the conciliar tradition of the Christian past can serve as a resource for resolving conflicts in the Church today. The book presents a conciliarism which involves historical legacy, but which leads us forward, not backward, and which keeps the Church's collective eyes on the prize the eschatological kingdom of God.
