This article addresses the current state of ecclesiological dissonance in the Church of England and analyses the theological and pastoral issues that are at stake. It tackles the two ecclesiological anomalies that now face the church and compromise its received polity. (a) The College of Bishops includes bishops who are unable to recognise the priestly and episcopal orders of their female colleagues and are unable to be in full sacramental communion with them. This situation raises the question of the ecclesial integrity of the College of Bishops: is there now a single College? (b) Some bishops are unable in conscience to recognise the priestly ordination of some clergy – male as well as female – within their diocese because these clergy are female or have been ordained by a female bishop. Is it possible for the bishop, in that situation, to exercise a full episcopal ministry in relation to those female clergy? The article goes on to explore, by means of the concepts of reception, economy and charity, whether a modus vivendi is possible that would enable the Church of England to live with these two anomalies with theological integrity.

圣餐主教?主教团的合一、教区的合一和教会的合一

本文探讨了英国国教目前教会学上的不和谐状态,并分析了危在旦夕的神学和教牧问题。它解决了现在教会面临的两个教会异常问题,并损害了其接受的政体。(a) 主教团包括无法承认其女同事的司铎和主教团以及无法与她们进行全面圣事共融的主教。这种情况提出了主教团的教会诚信问题:现在有一个单一的学院吗?(b) 一些主教在良心上无法承认他们教区内某些神职人员(男性和女性)的神父任命,因为这些神职人员是女性或由女主教任命。在那种情况下,主教有可能吗?对那些女神职人员行使完整的主教事工?文章继续通过接受、经济和慈善的概念来探讨是否有可能采取一种临时方式,使英格兰教会能够以神学完整性来应对这两种异常情况。
