Anglicanism is one of the largest and most widely dispersed of all
religious traditions. How it reached this status is replete with
irony and with conflict. The origins of Anglicanism lie in the
Church of England, still its largest branch and arguably its
defining center. But the majority of Anglicans now reside in
sub-Saharan Africa and do not speak English as their primary
language. Given Anglicanism's roots, and its integration into
British colonialism, the expansion of this branch of Christianity
seems puzzling. Moreover, intramural Anglican conflict, from the
end of colonialism onward, seemingly has torn the fabric of
Anglican life. It seems problematic that this tradition, and the
church bodies that represent it, will remain intact. By looking at
the Church through the lens of the biblical theme of promise, this
book seeks to offer neither lament for a tattered tradition nor
facile hope for an expanding one. It considers the key phases of
Anglican history, each defined by clear intentions, from securing
English national life, to mission, to finding contextual roots in
various locales. Whilst not denying that the ongoing contestation
about the proper shape of Anglican faith and practice has become
central, the book highlights the emergence of fresh consensus among
Anglicans, centered on grassroots initiative and innovation,
creating informal patterns of collaboration that can transcend
context and overlook divergence.
