The Essay, written by the Doctrine Committee of the Scottish Episcopal Church, discusses how the understanding of ‘authority’ in Christian ministry has deep roots in the New Testament and the theology of the Early Church. It explores these roots in the context of ministry, both lay and ordained, in the Scottish Episcopal Church today.

The Grosvenor Essays are a series of publications from the Scottish Episcopal Church which explore issues relevant to Christianity in the modern world.
