Archbishop Fisher's archiepiscopate reflected the central issues of
his time and place. It was Fisher who oversaw an immense programme
of reforms which effectively recast the institutions of the Church
of England for generations to come. It was Fisher who proved to be
the essential architect, politician and diplomat behind the
creation of a worldwide Anglican Communion. His determination to
promote the development of relations with other churches produced a
vital contribution to the cause of ecumenism, which culminated in
his momentous meeting with Pope John XXIII. Archbishop Fisher was a
vigorous participant in the questions which defined national and
international life. This book explores Fisher's influence on major
contemporary issues and events, including divorce-law reform and
capital punishment at home and the end of Empire and the most
dangerous years of the Cold War abroad. This new biography
establishes the continuing significance not only of the office of
Archbishop in the Church but also of the Church at large in the
tumultuous world of the later twentieth century. A final section of
original source material includes letters, sermons and other
writings bringing vividly to life the range and character of
Fisher's public and private role.
