This book describes in detail the ways in which the life of the
Church of England is affected by law. It deals with a great many
topics including canonical jurisprudence, ecclesiastical
government, the ministry of clergy and laity, faith, doctrine and
liturgy, the churches' rites and the management of property and
finance. Each of these subjects is studied and analyzed critically
and where appropriate comparisons are made with the Roman Catholic
Church.
Five general themes emerge: first is the degree to which the
church can be said to be regulated; the second concerns the
increasingly important use of administrative rules created
executively at national and diocesian level to supplement the
churches formal law; the third examines the relationship between
the formal law and the pastoral values of clarity, certainty and
flexibility; the fourth theme is the applicability of secular law;
the final theme is the comparison with the canon law of the Roman
Catholic Church. Thus the book provides for the first time a
comprehensive, descriptive and critical analysis of the legal
framework of the Church of England and the regulatory instruments
which operate within this framework.
