For most people in England today, the church is simply the empty
building at the end of the road, visited for the first time, if at
all, when dead. It offers its sacraments to a population that lives
without rites of passage, and which regards the National Health
Service rather than the National Church as its true spiritual
guardian. In Our Church, Scruton argues that the Anglican Church is
the forlorn trustee of an architectural and artistic inheritance
that remains one of the treasures of European civilization. He
contends that it is a still point in the centre of English culture
and that its defining texts, the King James Bible and the Book of
Common Prayer are the sources from which much of our national
identity derives. At once an elegy to a vanishing world and a
clarion call to recognize Anglicanism's continuing relevance, Our
Church is a graceful and persuasive book.
