Leadership is a growing preoccupation of the contemporary church,
but for some of the most inspiring examples of good leadership we
need to go back, not forwards. Archbishop William Temple is widely
regarded as one of the most influential church leaders of the
twentieth century. In this book Stephen Spencer unpacks Archbishop
Temple's life and legacy, and the ways in which his leadership
transformed society in remarkable ways. From education to politics,
and from spiritual direction to leading the church through national
crisis, this book draws on Temple's biography to offer a unique and
profound portrait of the kind of servant leadership the church
needs today.

Once Henry VIII declared the Church of England free of papal
control in the sixteenth century and the process of Reformation
began, the Church of England rapidly developed a distinctive style
of ministry that reflected the values and practices of the English
people. In Ministry in the Anglican Tradition from Henry VIII to
1900, John L. Kater traces the complex process by which Anglican
ministry evolved in dialogue with social and political changes in
England and around the world. By the end of the Victorian period,
ministry in the Anglican tradition had begun to take on the broad
diversity we know today. This book explores the many ways in which
laypeople, clergy, and missionaries in multiple settings and under
various conditions have contributed to the emergence of a uniquely
Anglican way of responding to the call to serve Christ and the
world. That ministry preserved many of the insights of its
Reformation ancestors and their heritage, even as it continued to
respond to the new and often unfamiliar contexts it now calls home.
God's Church in the World: The Gift of Catholic Mission presents a
confident and joyful assertion of the Catholic character of
Christian mission and its sacramental nature, exploring the
transforming role the Catholic tradition can play in evangelism. A
range of outstanding contributors explore the gifts that the
Catholic tradition - formed by a conviction that the presence of
Christ in the Eucharist intensifies and motivates an awareness of
the sacramental presence of Christ in the world - can bring to the
church's engagement with the world. Chapters include: * Mission and
the Life of Prayer * Mission and the Sacraments * Catholic Mission
in Practice * The Virgin Mary and Mission * Vocation and Mission *
The Sacraments as Converting Ordinances * Social Justice and Growth
in Anglo-Catholic Churches * Reflections on Scripture and Catholic
Mission * Catholic Mission: Historical Perspectives The
contributors represent the breadth of Catholic traditions and
identities in the Church of England today.
