This study provides new insights into the history of Anglicanism,
Nonconformity and ideas of English and British identity between the
two world wars. This is the first full length examination of a
defining moment in the history of the Church of England in the
twentieth century: the Prayer Book controversy of 1927-28. It
argues that conceptions of national religion were influential in
the debates surrounding liturgical revision, showing in particular
how ideas of Protestant national identity clashed with both liberal
Anglican and moderate Anglo-Catholic conceptions of Church and
nation. It shows how theChurch of England retained a significant
position in national life in the interwar period; however, it also
argues that the resilience of the anti-Catholic mindset amongst
many Anglicans and Free Churchmen meant that the exact nature of
the relationship between religion and nation was hotly contested.
This study sets the Prayer Book controversy in the context of early
twentieth century British religious history, providing important
insights into the history of Anglicanism, Nonconformity and ideas
of English and British identity during the period. JOHN G. MAIDEN
is a Research Assistant at the Department of Religious Studies, The
Open University.
