Church Observed, A

The bishops of the Church of England are re-imagining ministry and mission for the 21st century, while Anglicans in over 165 countries are addressing their own local challenges. At the same time, Anglicans everywhere struggle to establish what holds them together. So what does 'being Anglican' mean as times change? A Church Observed addresses this question by scanning the Anglican horizon and zooming in on features of interest. The author does so from the vantage point of his own family history and personal experience. By playing this back and commenting on what we observe together, he opens up the bigger Anglican story for us. Surveying a rich array of contexts, in the UK and across the world, he helps us discern common features and assess why Anglican practices have in some cases changed, with an eye to the future. A Church Observed is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the unfolding story of this unique family of churches.
