"The Position Of The Laity In The Primitive Church" explores the historical role and function of lay members within the early Christian community. This report, compiled by the Shoreditch Ruridecanal Committee, offers insights into the participation, responsibilities, and influence of the laity during the formative years of the Church. Examining historical texts and traditions, the book sheds light on how the early Church structured itself and the vital role that ordinary members played in its growth and development.
Authored by Charles Harris, this study provides a valuable resource for understanding the ecclesiology of the primitive Church and the evolving relationship between clergy and laity. It is essential reading for students of church history, theology, and anyone interested in the historical roots of Christian practices and governance.
