| Summary: | The article explores the concept of ‘Generous Orthodoxy’. It argues that the phrase focuses the task of theology on the worship of God, and its significance in spiritual formation. It also works to enable the church's witness by engaging with the realities of the world from the perspective of credal orthodoxy. The words ‘Generous’ and ‘Orthodoxy’ each illuminate the other, in that true orthodoxy is generous, and generosity is a vital part of true orthodoxy. Such an orthodoxy can only be maintained with a robust doctrine and experience of the Holy Spirit as the Church's principle of unity. |
