New Reform Booklet
Since its start Reform has had plenty of opportunity to state what we are against when talking about bishops but we have not been as clear in stating what we are for. This has led to the criticism that Reform does not really like episcopacy at all. Mark Burkill’s booklet sets about addressing this.
This paper aims to distinguish key biblical principles for episcopacy from elements within its current practice which simply reflect past social and traditional forms in which bishops have exercised their ministry, in order to suggest ways in which the current practice can be effectively reformed. It looks at the biblical principles for congregational leadership that are found within the New Testament, and how the ministry of bishops developed in the history of the Christian church. It then articulates a vision for the reform of the episcopate.
