Contents:
Preface: The structure of this volume -- Introductory clarifications -- A relational ecclesiology in the Third Millennium : what makes the Third Millennium different? -- The historical starting point : ecclesiology from 1500 to the beginning of the Third Millennium -- The philosophical starting point : relational being -- The theological starting point : an infinitely free relational God -- A relational theology of creation, incarnation, and the sending of the Spirit -- A relational theology of the church for the Third Millennium.
Summary: At the beginning of the new millennium, the Christian Churches are in a process of renewal. The Roman Catholic Church, since Vatican II, has been in a major stage of renewal. Contemporary globalization, multi-cultural interrelationships, and inter-religious dialogues have presented serious challenges to these renewal efforts. In this volume, I want to offer to the Catholic Renewal and from there to other denominational renewals, a view of the church from the rich tradition of Franciscan philosophy and theology. To date there are a only a few books which include small essays on this theme. This.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 433-440) and index.
