The article considers the strengths and weaknesses of John Milbankâs ecclesiology by examining encounters the author has had as a Church of England priest working in the inner city. The analysis is further sharped by setting Milbankâs ecclesiology alongside Rowan Williamsâs ideas about the Church and priestly ministry. The article argues that, while there is more to Milbankâs ecclesiology than some critics have allowed, his account can be usefully supplemented by close attention to the lived experience of the Church day by day. For a more rounded characterization of the Church as a distinctive human community, we need to look at the Church taken to its limits, sticking with situations of âdis-ease and conflictâ, and not looking for âquick and false solutionsâ. These points can all be found in Williamsâs ecclesiology.
