  • The Episcopal Church in Jordan: Identity, Liturgy, and Mission

  • Duane Alexander Miller
  • Journal:
    Journal of Anglican Studies / Volume 9 / Issue 2 / 26 September 2011
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    30 July 2010, pp. 134-153

  • The article begins with a brief review of the history of the diocese of Jerusalem. By interviewing eight members of the diocesan clergy in Jordan, the researcher desires to explore how the concepts in the title are related to each other within the Jordanian context. Is there a unique identity of Jordanian Anglicans? What is the desirability and/or feasibility of revising the prayer book? Given the declining demographics of Christians in the region, what avenues are open to these ministers to sustain their congregations? Specific care is paid to the topic of incorporating Muslim converts into existing congregations. Also included are some theological reflections on the meaning of liturgy within the Jordanian context and the diocesan policies for the formation of future priests, which have important implications for the future of the diocese.
