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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSteiner's work emphasizes the importance of finding the spiritual in everyday life.

So why is there any need for a sacramental communion with real bread and wine, as practiced in The Christian Community?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn 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?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Selg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782504818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782504818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Floris Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Peter Selg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984288121087,"sku":"9781782504818","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09f759e4-2470-4efc-b01d-fcad07e7c008.jpg?v=1683271530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rudolf-steiner-and-the-christian-peter-selg-9781782504818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
