Description
Book SynopsisAnglicanism can be seen as irredeemably English. In this book Kevin Ward questions that assumption. African, Asian, Oceanic, Caribbean and Latin American Anglicans are now a majority in the world-wide communion, and Ward shows how they are decisively shaping what it means to be Anglican.
