Discipline in an ecclesiastical context can be defined as the power
of a church to maintain order among its members on issues of morals
or doctrine. This book presents a scholarly engagement with the way
in which legal discipline has evolved within the Church of England
since 1688. It explores how the Church of England, unusually among
Christian churches, has come to be without means of effective legal
discipline in matters of controversy, whether liturgical,
doctrinal, or moral. The author excludes matters of blatant scandal
to focus on issues where discipline has been attempted in
controversial matters, focussing on particular cases. The book
makes connections between law, the state of the Church, and the
underlying theology of justice and freedom. At a time when
doctrinal controversy is widespread across all Christian
traditions, it is argued that the Church of England has an
inheritance here in need of cherishing and sharing with the
universal Church. The book will be a valuable resource for
academics and researchers in the areas of law and religion, and
ecclesiastical history. .

"Do interesting things and interesting things happen to you."
Flyfisher's Chronicle takes us to where the last of the world's
wild fish hide away. Remote destinations the author journeyed to
with his fly rod, fly-tying vice - and his inquisitive and
inventive mind. Here he developed new techniques and flies to
outwit the different fish he discovered there - sharing tales with
the many fascinating characters he met on the way with the same
insatiable appetite for adventure.
