The period between 1857 and 1957 saw a transformation in Anglican
sexual understanding when the established church negotiated
substantial new normative interpretations of marriage, sexuality,
citizenship, and priesthood. Timothy Jones demonstrates how the
introduction of female voices into the previously exclusively male
spheres of power transformed understandings of gender. He also
delineates the impact of the Anglo-Catholic revival on Anglican
sexual culture, in particular, the significance of catholic
sacramentality on understandings of the relationship between the
sexual and the spiritual. Sexual Politics in the Church of England
exposes a surprisingly dynamic and dialogical relationship between
theology, feminism, and the new sexual sciences that resists the
teleologies of secularisation that dominate the histories of
sexuality and Christianity in Britain. The story of Anglican sexual
politics told in this book firmly rebuts contemporary notions of
the Church as an inevitably reactionary institution. On the
contrary, it reveals the Church's historic capacity to renegotiate
gender and sexual ideologies, and shows how it was often at the
forefront of sexual change in British society.
