How are cathedrals and churches understood? Are they shop windows,
through which to gaze at the riches on offer within the Christian
life? Are they flagships of the Spirit? Are they both sacred spaces
and community utilities? 'Shop-window, flagship, common ground'
views the rich ministry and innovative mission of cathedrals
through the novel lens of metaphor; and it offers comparative
insights on cathedrals and cathedral-like churches. Located in the
emerging international field of cathedral studies, the book
explores the usage and inferences of a range of metaphors,
including 'shop-windows of the Church of England', 'flagships of
the Spirit', 'beacons of the Christian faith', 'magnets', and
'sacred space, common ground'. This volume also shows how such
metaphors can stimulate different types of research about the
function of cathedral and church buildings. With a Foreword by
Professor Grace Davie, the book suggests that cathedrals and
cathedral-like churches may play a role within 'vicarious religion'
theory. It will provide a thought-provoking critique for
practitioners and a valuable contribution for scholars of cathedral
studies, congregational studies and ecclesiology.
