1983 marked the 150th anniversary of John Keble's Assize Sermon, a
sermon which Newman recognized as the beginning of the Oxford
Movement. The religious revival which it signalled, though
originating in a particular political challenge to the Church of
England, was far-reaching in its effect. The continuity and
catholic identity of Anglicanism was powerfully affirmed;
sacramental worship was restored to a central place in Anglican
devotion; religious orders were revived; and both in the mission
field and in the slums, devoted priests laboured with new vigour
and a new sense of the Church. This study of some of the major
themes and personalities of the Catholic revival in Anglicanism
highlights some of these aspects, and in particular, points to the
close relationship between theology and sacramental spirituality
which was at the heart of the movement. To recognize this central
characteristic of the revival can contribute much, the author
believes, to the renewal of the Catholic tradition in Anglicanism
today.

Matt Woodcock returns with this sequel to the bestselling 'Becoming
Reverend'. Follow Matt's journey as he starts work at one of Hull's
oldest, biggest and emptiest churches. It's a shadow of its former
self, with a small congregation and huge bills to pay. Adding the
entrepreneurial (and somewhat excitable) Matt to their clergy
line-up is the last throw of the dice for this 700-year-old
institution. But is Matt ready for such a tough first assignment?
Are his new flock - or his new colleagues - ready for the whirlwind
that's about to descend? And can Matt realize his vision of a
thriving church without wrecking his home life in the process? As
this real-life diary reveals, Matt's life being Reverend can be
every bit as fraught, funny and fascinating as it was becoming one.
The lives of Christian churches are shaped by doctrinal theology.
That is, they are shaped by practices in which ideas about God and
God's ways with the world are developed, discussed and deployed.
This book explores those practices, and asks why they matter for
communities seeking to follow Jesus. Taking the example of the
Church of England, this book highlights the embodied, affective and
located reality of all doctrinal practices - and the biases and
exclusions that mar them. It argues that doctrinal theology can in
principle help the church know God better, even though doctrinal
theologians do not know God better than their fellow believers. It
claims that it can help the church to hear in Scripture challenges
to its life, including to its doctrinal theology. It suggests that
doctrinal disagreement is inevitable, but that a better quality of
doctrinal disagreement is possible. And, finally, it argues that,
by encouraging attention to voices that have previously been
ignored, doctrinal theology can foster the ongoing discovery of
God's surprising work.
