Anglicanism can be seen as irredeemably English. In this book Kevin
Ward questions that assumption. He explores the character of the
African, Asian, Oceanic, Caribbean and Latin American churches
which are now a majority in the world-wide communion, and shows how
they are decisively shaping what it means to be Anglican. While
emphasising the importance of colonialism and neo-colonialism for
explaining the globalisation of Anglicanism, Ward does not focus
predominantly on the Churches of Britain and N. America; nor does
he privilege the idea of Anglicanism as an 'expansion of English
Christianity'. At a time when Anglicanism faces the danger of
dissolution Ward explores the historically deep roots of
non-Western forms of Anglicanism, and the importance of the
diversity and flexibility which has so far enabled Anglicanism to
develop cohesive yet multiform identities around the world.
