In periods of recession, churches frequently respond to social need
in practical ways. These responses are often driven by pastoral
concern rather than a theology of church and society. But without
theological roots, such social action can be vulnerable and
episodic. This volume, commissioned by a group of Bishops in
hard-hit dioceses, looks to develop strong theological foundations
for local social action initiatives by churches, especially for
activists who are not familiar with the Church of England's
tradition of social theology, developed by William Temple and
others a century ago. In exploring what a renewed Anglican social
theology might look like, this also draws on the impact of Catholic
Social Teaching and focuses on the core topics of multiculturalism,
economics, family patterns, ecology and other key issues.
