Anglicanism can be wonderful, mystifying and infuriating. For some
it is an expression of the Church catholic, going back to the early
Church and the apostles. For others it is a pragmatic compromise
dating from Henry VIII's dynastic ambitions. Some see Anglicanism
today as self-destructing, torn apart by internal pressures.
Paul Avis expounds an Anglicanism that is both catholic and
reformed and open to fresh insight. On this interpretation, what is
distinctive about Anglicanism is its understanding of the Church
and of authority. These issues are addressed in relation to the
origins of Anglican ecclesiology, the diversity and coherence of
the worldwide Anglican Communion, its understanding of baptism and
the Eucharist, the question of women priests and bishops, its
ecumenical engagement and the internal conflicts of the early
twenty-first century. This is a authoritive and passionate
vindication of classical Anglicanism, evolving to respond to
contemporary challenges.
