What is the nature of world Anglicanism in a postcolonial, global age? This book provides the key to understanding both the character of this Christian tradition and the essential nature of current disputes. It describes the foundations of the tradition and outlines its central beliefs and practices, focusing on mission, liturgy, engagement with others, and power, knowledge and authority in the church. It includes chapters on women’s ordination and on homosexuality in the public life of the church, and the final chapter looks to the challenges of the future.
Read more- Sees the current disputes among Anglicans in the context of a wider ongoing conversation and shared core beliefs
- Addresses the challenges of diversity and the possibility of federalism, with non-British Anglicanism given much more weight than in most books
- Provides key information on origins, doctrine and practice
Reviews & endorsements
