write fiction through their relationship with the Church of
England. This field-defining collection of essays explores

Anglicanism. These essays, by a set of distinguished contributors,
cover a range of literary genres, from life-writing and whodunnits

This title presents a fresh look at the issue of establishment of
the Church of England in an ecumenical, multi-cultural and secular
context. This book offers a definitive account of the recent
history and theology of the establishment of the Church of England.
Written in an accessible style and at the same time rooted in
serious scholarship, it offers a range of views and opinions as
well as an awareness of contemporary political and social problems.
It asks a number of penetrating questions, including the key issue
of the extent to which churches, and particularly the Church of
England, can be protected from equality legislation, while at the
same time expecting to have special political and social
privileges. This issue relates to the thorny problems of the reform
of the House of Lords, and even to the future of the Monarchy.
While there is no effort to impose a particular agenda or solution,
the book is nevertheless often provocative and suggests a number of
ways forward for establishment. It is intended as a lively
contribution to an often-overlooked debate, which has nevertheless
become increasingly important in the multi-cultural context of
contemporary Britain. "Affirming Catholicism" is a progressive
movement in the Anglican Church, drawing inspiration and hope from
the Catholic tradition, confident that it will bear the gifts of
the past into the future. The books in this series aim to make the
Catholic element within Anglicanism once more a positive force for
the Gospel, and a model for effective mission today.
This volume includes lectures from high profile figures from
academia and the Church. Anglian and Catholic voices explores
continuity and change in the Anglican Church and its relations with
Rome, from its earliest days onwards.
This book explores the culture of conformity to the Church of
England and its liturgy in the period after the Reformation and
before the outbreak of the Civil War. It provides a necessary
corrective to our view of religion in the period by a serious
exploration of the laity who conformed, out of conviction, to the
Book of Common Prayer. Through the use of church court records and
parliamentary petitions, the views of lay people are examined -
those who were neither 'puritan' nor 'Laudian', yet were committed
to the reformed liturgy and episcopacy out of sincere belief, and
not as a matter of political expediency.
This book explores the culture of conformity to the Church of England and its liturgy in the period after the Reformation and before the outbreak of the Civil War. It provides a necessary corrective to our view of religion in that period through a serious exploration of the laypeople who conformed, out of conviction, to the Book of Common Prayer. These "prayer book Protestants" formed a significant part of the spectrum of society in Tudor and Stuart England, yet until now they have remained an almost completely uninvestigated group.
This is a valuable collection on religious life in England in the
midseventeenth century. It contains essays by leading authorities
of the period, such as Ann Hughes, John Morrill and Colin Davis. It
is divided into three sections, entitled Theology in revolutionary
England, Inside and outside the revolutionary National Church, and
Local impacts of religious revolution.
