The detailed comparison of different Christian legal systems has been the neglected dimension of ecumenism. This unique dictionary is a handy guide to existing law and an invitation to increase mutual knowledge and cooperation.'' Fr Robert Ombres OP, University of Oxford ''At a time when the Anglican Communion is recovering an understanding of its Canon Law as an articulation of its identity and mission; and by comparative study, as a means of ecumenical dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church, this timely volume provides an invaluable source of reference, being both diverse and detailed, which will guide and illuminate research and scholarship.'' Mark Hill, Chancellor of the Diocese of Chichester ''This handbook is a most welcome addition to the growing library of canon law works. This value-for-money volume embraces a wealth of material which is well presented, and can only serve in casting light on terms which perhaps have been surrounded in obscurity.'' Revd Jonathan Redvers Harris, Parson and Parish ''At least since the days of Dr Johnson, lexicographers have been seen to be men or women of wide learning, great determination and astounding industry. Rhidian Jones joins their number. I want this book for reference and for pleasure.'' Sir John Owen, Auditor of the Chancery Court of York ''A most helpful reference book for Canon Lawyers.'' Msgr Ralph Brown, Former Vicar General to the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster ''A highly useful starting point in researching Church Law. What makes this volume so useful is that sources and commentaries for different points of law discussed are cited.
