Dissent and Descent (Paperback)
Dissent and Descent is a series of essays by Roman Catholics and Methodists in Britain about the church and its mission in society seen from the viewpoint of people with experience in the ecumenical movement. It is the first time a book has been written jointly by Roman Catholics and Methodists to encourage local groups from both churches to look at their life together and to take action. The basic theme of the essays is to consider the relation of the dissenting tradition in British life with a church that is aware of its history across the centuries, and to question where today's dissenters are to be found.
