In this book a veteran country parson emerges from obscurity to
focus upon the root causes and a possible long term solution of the
most intractable problem facing today's Christianity, and
especially his own Anglican Communion - its crippling and
deep-seated disunity in the face of relentless secularist attack.
John Fitch's "eirenicon," defined as "a proposal tending to make
peace," while explicitly disclaiming the slick or superficial,
offers a distinctive long-term approach to this issue with a touch
of originality. His intriguing diagram on the front cover hints at
the line taken - a no-holds-barred analysis of the uniquely
Anglican concept of "churchmanship." The book, though deadly
serious, is by no means devoid of humour; at the very least it
deserves a patient reading from all who share the author's
concerns. Born in June 1922, John Fitch read History and Theology
at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. After preparing for
ordination at Wells Theological College in Somerset, he served for
forty years in various Suffolk parishes, retiring in 1987. He was
appointed an Honorary Canon of St Edmundsbury in 1975 and was a
co-founder of the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust. Now living in
Essex, he has one son, two daughters, and seven grandchildren. His
previous areas of publication have been antiquarian and
genealogical.
