Description

The relationship between The Christian Community and the Anthroposophical Society is complex and often misunderstood.

Christian Community priests work out of an understanding of anthroposophy, and it was undoubtedly Steiner's theological lecture courses which led to the formation of the movement.

Nonetheless questions remain, which Peter Selg examines closely in this unique book. -- Steiner's work emphasises the importance of finding the spiritual in everyday life.

So why did he help found a 'Sunday church'?-- In his lectures, Steiner spoke about a 'spiritual communion' without physical matter.

So why is there any need for a sacramental communion with real bread and wine, as practiced in The Christian Community?-- In a much-quoted lecture after the founding of The Christian Community, Steiner said that anthroposophists should have no need of the new religious movement.

But on another occasion he said he wished greatly that the movement should succeed.

How can these be understood and reconciled?This long-overdue book is a significant exploration of Steiner's legacy which should have far-reaching implications for mutual understanding and cooperation between The Christian Community and the wider anthroposophical world.
