How is it different from other forms of Christianity, and how did it come to have so many different versions throughout the world? Although originally united by location and a common belief, Anglicanism has gradually lost its pre-eminence as the English state church due to increasing pluralisation and secularisation. While there are distinctive themes and emphases which emerge from its early history and theology, there is little sense of unity in Anglicanism today. In Anglicanism: A Very Short Introduction, Mark Chapman highlights the diversity of contemporary Anglicanism by exploring its fascinating history, theology, and structures. Putting the history and development of the religion into context, Chapman reveals what it is that holds Anglicanism together despite the recent crises that threaten to tear it apart.

First published in the reign of Edward VI, in 1549, it was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. For nearly five centuries, it has formed the order of worship for established Christianity in England. More listeners have heard these prayers, it is said, than the soliloquies of Shakespeare. As British imperial ambitions spread, the Book of Common Prayer became the primary instrument (at least as much as the King James Bible) of English culture, firstly in Ireland in 1551. When the Puritans fled to America in 1620 it was to escape the discipline imposed by of the Book of Common Prayer, yet the book came to embody official religion in America before and after Independence, and is still in use. Today it is a global book: it was the first book printed in many languages, from north America to southern Africa, to the Indian sub-continent. In this Very Short Introduction Brian Cummings tells the fascinating history of the Book of Common Prayer, and explains why it is easily misunderstood. Designed in the 1540s as a radical Protestant answer to Catholic superstition, within a century (during the English Civil Wars) radical Christians regarded the Book of Common Prayer as itself superstitious and even (paradoxically) Papist. Changing in meaning and context over time, the Book of Common Prayer has acted as a cultural symbol, affecting the everyday conduct of life as much as the spiritual, and dividing conformity from non-conformity, in social terms as well as religious, from birth to marriage to death.

Yet it remains an elusive and surprisingly overlooked theme, whose 'place', theologically, is far from certain. Whilst ecclesiastical history has long formed a pillar of academic training for ordained ministry, ecclesiastical geography has not contributing to the often uninformed assumptions about locality in contemporary church debate and mission strategy. At a time when its relevance and sustainability are being weighed in the balance and with plans progressing for the Church in Wales' abandonment of parochial organisation, there is an urgent need for a clear analysis of the parish's historical, geographical and sociological - as well as theological significance.

As well as being an invaluable work of social and ecclesiological history, it demonstrates masterfully and imaginatively how crucial place is to any adequate understanding of Christian theology. It deserves to be very widely read not only by all who are committed about the Church of England and the gospel it seeks to proclaim, but also by all who care about the future of England. -- Rt Revd Dr John Inge, Bishop of Worcester\u003cbr\u003ePlace is back on the agenda today: in books and on television, place and places fascinate scholars and the general public alike. This magnificent book weaves a wide range of perspectives together lyrically with ease. Here, theology finds itself at home with geography, philosophy and the study of history on the widest scale, and at the most local. At a time when church strategy is often ill at ease with the apparent lack of novelty in abiding with a community, where it is, for the long run, Rumsey’s book offers what we need, and yet it is low on polemic, and big on pastoral insight. -- Andrew Davison, Starbridge Lecturer in Theology and Natural Sciences, University of Cambridge, UK\u003cbr\u003eAndrew Rumsey sees with the eyes of a poet, writes with the hand of a scholar, and loves with the heart of a priest. His call to re-examine the myths, meaning, purpose and promise of the parish is as persuasive as it is timely. He is a faithful storeholder who has found in the history and soil of this evocative theme something old and something new. This is a study to be cherished, enjoyed – and lived. -- Rev Dr Sam Wells\u003cbr\u003eThis book is like discovering a legacy left by a long-lost relative. Parishes are a precious inheritance left to the present generation by its forebears. Cultivated both physically and spiritually for centuries, parishes are not just areas of land, they are repositories of densely-woven human relationship based on principles of reciprocity, generosity and care. In their particularity, they are seed banks of future forms of human community as our global monocultures come under strain. Above all, they proclaim the Christian belief that God’s self-disclosure in a living, walking human being was a local affair, and still is. Rumsey’s is a profound summons not to take for granted what has been bequeathed to us. -- Ben Quash, King's College London, UK\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a must read for all Anglicans thinking about mission, the significance of place, and the “parish system”. Andrew Rumsey has done something truly astonishing. Each page is packed with worthwhile insights, and more elegant writing than this review could readily quote. He has written the book one wishes one could write, and discussions of the parish and its future must use this wonderful work as their starting place. -- Zachary Guiliano, ANVIL: Journal of Theology and Mission, VOL 34, ISSUE 2\u003cbr\u003eJust as we are encouraging pioneer ministry, when rural parishioners find their ancient churches designated ‘festival churches’ (i.e. not used very often) along comes this well-researched theological study of an Anglican theology of place. Rumsey says, ‘Parish is the place where we belong, it is local, and God is only ever encountered locally, not because He (sic) is local, but because we are.’ The book finishes with three challenges: the viability of the parish system; finding a contemporary response to the mission challenges; and the necessity of reframing our contribution to the common good.

No other such detailed practical guide is currently in print.This will become an important resource for those within theological education institutions, adult theological educators; those with responsibility for continuing ministerial development, mentoring and discipleship; and any lay person who seeks to live a life of faith in conversation with culture and the Judaeo-Christian tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book is a useful contribution to the field of Practical Theology, informed by the authors’ extensive experience of enabling people to engage with the transformative potential of theological reflection.

Like any good meal, or effective  theological reflection, this is a rich shared experience, so pull up a chair.  This will nourish practical theologians, preachers and teachers as we refine our various approaches. It will feed poets, enable facilitators of parish debate, and offer sustenance to all who seek God in the earth of the everyday. It offers dishes flavoured with thought, practicality and wisdom; a nourishing feast. -- Revd Dr Kate Bruce, Visiting Fellow, St Johns College, Durham and RAF chaplain\u003cbr\u003eI particularly appreciate O’Neill’s insistence on asking the right interrogatory questions during the Theological Reflection process, and honing them until they evoke the sort of response that will deliver ever more depth, insight and therefore action in daily Christian living.  Whether a newcomer to the skills, or an old hand at the process of Theological Reflection, O’Neill’s approach invites us to take time to draw deeply from the Four Sources of Tradition, Culture, Action and Position in a way that will challenge and enrich individuals and groups alike. Shercliff’s drawing on her own extensive preaching and teaching experience illustrate the richness of the fresh approach outlined in “Straw for Bricks”. This is a book as much for EFM ‘junkies’ like me, as for those looking for something that will add value to the skills and techniques of sermon preparation, small group leading, and anyone attempting to drill more deeply into biblical texts and themes in a way that speaks into today’s world and society. -- The Very Revd Frank D.

Bold and far-reaching, the book addresses the key presenting issues around a need for a change of culture in the church as regards accountability for ministerial practice. It outlines a theological and practical model of 1-to-1 supervision, arguing that such an approach enables the development of greater attentiveness to God, the self and others and thus enhances accountability.

It offers a poetic and deeply biblical invitation into a deeper relationship with God, self and other as part of the transforming work that God is doing through those called to minister.    Writing out of her experience of 30 years as a Methodist minister and at the start of the British Methodist Church’s journey into mandatory supervision for its ordained ministers, Helen advocates the value of supervision in the maturation of those called into public ministry. She sees this process as one for which the body of Christ bears responsibility alongside the minister, offering a ‘shared agenda’ model of supervision that allows both the supervisee and the supervisor to bring issues for exploration.    Reflecting on the need for ministry to be accountable to those it serves, this book is a timely discussion of some of the spiritual, theological and ethical foundations for practising supervision in an ecclesial context. -- Jane Leach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:   Preface   1.

The life and mission of the Church of England  and of the worldwide Anglican Communion  are affected by the deep, and sometimes painful, disagreements about these matters, divisions brought into sharper focus because of society's changing perspectives and practices, especially in relation to LGTBI+ people.Living in Love and Faith sets out to inspire people to think more deeply both about what it means to be human, and to live in love and faith with one another. It tackles the tough questions and the divisions among Christians about what it means to be holy in a society in which understandings and practices of gender, sexuality and marriage continue to change. Commissioned and led by the Bishops of the Church of England, the Living in Love and Faith project has involved many people across the Church and beyond, bringing toget","brand":"Church House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48736051003735,"sku":"9780715111673","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780715111673.jpg?v=1723810478"},{"product_id":"common-worship-lectionary-9780715123935","title":"Common Worship Lectionary","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis essential handbook for the preparation of worship presents the authorised Bible readings (references only) for the liturgical year beginning Advent Sunday 2022.

Additionally, it will be useful for anyone else in the church who is able to admit to themselves that they don’t really know what the churchwarden actually does. Told with gentle humour based on solid experience and pragmatism, Matthew Clements details the extensive boundaries of a churchwarden’s responsibilities and gives many examples from his own experience of just what the job can entail.

Why do most of us experience sexual feelings throughout our adult lives, not just in the safe confines of marriage? Is limiting marriage to the union of a man and a woman anything but outdated prejudice? What is our sexuality actually for?  Today's culture overwhelmingly tells us that sex is essential for human flourishing. Far too often the church perpetuates the same message - as long as you are married. But far from being liberating, this idolising of sex leaves us even more sexually broken than before.  With refreshing honesty and clarity, Ed Shaw calls on the church to rediscover its confidence in the Bible's teaching about our ability to experience or express sexual feelings. He points us to how God's word reveals that sexuality's ultimate purpose is to help us better know God and the full power of his passionate love. He shows us how this is surprisingly good news for all our joys and struggles with sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompassionate, hopeful and biblical. This is a must-read for all Christians, and a great help as we navigate the vital issues around sexuality. -- Gavin Calver * CEO, Evangelical Alliance UK *\u003cbr\u003eA short, clear and often profound book on one of our generation’s most pressing subjects. Ed Shaw has served us superbly with Purposeful Sexuality. -- Andrew Wilson * Teaching Pastor, King's Church London *\u003cbr\u003eThis wise, sensitive book has a great deal to offer all of us as we attend to the desires, questions and struggles arising from our nature as sexual beings. Its contemporary frame of reference, combined with careful reading of relevant biblical texts, makes it all the more valuable. -- Julian Hardyman * Senior Pastor, Eden Baptist Church Cambridge, author of Jesus Lover of My Soul: Fresh Pathways to Spiritual Intimacy *\u003cbr\u003eWe live in times when things we know and values we hold are changing and in flux. From our humanity to our identity, everything seems up for re-definition. Perhaps it’s at the point of our sexuality that this is most vivid and complex. With brilliant clarity, grace-filled empathy, and biblical truth, Ed Shaw helps us understand the plan and purpose of our sexuality and wisely draws us back to the place of healing and redemption which we all truly need. -- Tope Koleoso * Lead Pastor, Jubilee Church, London *\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are confused or frustrated, scared or scarred, Ed Shaw's latest book will help you to find a renewed sense of joy and purpose for your God-given sexuality. Armed with a better understanding of God's purpose for our sexuality, Ed shows how we will be better equipped to navigate the trials and temptations of our sex-obsessed world. It's a book I will be recommending to people in all kinds of different situations. -- Ros Clarke * Associate Director, Church Society *\u003cbr\u003eIn this compelling short read, Ed Shaw poses the question, \"What is the purpose of our sexuality?\" With courageous honesty, he mines deep into Scripture and brings some incredible gems to light. He unearths how our sexuality is the most graphic imagery for the passion and potency of God’s love. Sheer dynamite! -- Rt Revd Dr Jill Duff * Anglican Bishop of Lancaster *\u003cbr\u003eI am so thankful I am a sexual being! Ed's book is a much-needed hurricane of fresh air on the purpose of sexuality. As a single heterosexual woman, I am once more staggered by God's kindness in crafting me with sexual desire so that I may more tangibly appreciate his love for me. Ed's short book is beautifully biblical, richly pastoral and deeply evocative. A glorious vision of human flourishing is to be found within these pages. I am more for having read this. -- Kristi Mair * Research Fellow in Philosophy, Ethics and Apologetics at Oak Hill Theological College, author and speaker *\u003cbr\u003eHow can such a short book pack such a punch? With humanity and great humility, Ed Shaw shows us why our sexuality is such a good thing. That God in his kindness has given us a way to feel the passion of his love for us and yearn for more of him. And that this for all of us, in all our mess, whether or not we’re married. -- Mark Ellis * Director of CU Ireland *\u003cbr\u003e‘Sex is life’ advertising slogans hit us constantly. But what kind of sex really is ‘life’?   A colossal crisis in relationships and a profound loneliness seem to be the outcomes of this pansexual society. The so-called ‘sexual revolution’ has not brought the flourishing life it promised, but rather the opposite.   In this concise and clear book Ed Shaw shows how the biblical vision for sexuality is indeed a source of life and fulfilment. The book provides a lucid and solid framework on sexuality for everyone, but especially for those who are frustrated, confused and tired of the ‘paradise’ promised by the secular views. -- Dr Pablo Martinez * psychiatrist, author and Bible teacher *\u003cbr\u003eFor a contentedly single heterosexual woman, I seem to be reading a lot of books about sex and sexuality these days. It is a vital topic, and something I need to have a clear, biblical understanding of as someone involved in pastoral work - and indeed as someone involved in human life!  Purposeful Sexuality is a brief but vital addition to the genre. In this excellent little book Ed reveals a deep understanding both of the questions surrounding sexuality and of the Bible's glorious, hopeful, life-giving answers. How is God's gift of sexuality good news for all of us, whatever our circumstances?

Set in the late nineteenth century, the bells of Canterbury and the bells of Africa ring out a story of what was, what might have been, and what in some places, shamefully, still is.

Marguerite Poland is to be commended for writing such a revelatory account of societal attitudes. The book is fiction but is based on church history and bigotry parading as decency.
