Ku integralnemu ujęciu moralności i duchowości chrześcijańskiej

Abstract

It was one of the features of the renewal of Christian moral theology in the 20th century to view it as deeply related to Christian spirituality. This attempt however was present in the Anglican tradition back in the 17th-century Caroline moral theology (cf. H. R. McAdoo). In this paper its new 20th-century Anglican development is presented, mainly in such authors as K. E. Kirk, L. Dewar, C. Hudson and H. Waddams. It also finds its place in very recently published books by American Anglicans like S. Holmgren and T. F. Sedgwick. ARCIC Il’s Life in Christ. Morals, Communion and the Church is too its evidence. The integrated understanding of moral-spiritual dimension of the Christian life is rooted above all in the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit, in the fact that man is a “praying being” and so cooperates with grace as well as in the “sacramental principle” of the Christian’s life.
