Description
Book SynopsisHow should British national identity be understood in the light of the UK's decision to leave the European Union?
Trade ReviewThis stimulating collection of essays seeks to give voice to the genuine plurality of Anglican views on the politics of Brexit. It offers an honest resource for thinking about the path to Brexit, and the life of the nation beyond it. It does not reconcile difference, but it does name it as part of the struggle of the present, and it seeks to challenge Christians of all views to imagine a future with hope. -- Anna Rowlands, St Hilda Associate Professor of Catholic Social Thought & Practice, University of Durham
The English Church played a constitutive role in the identity of the English polity. From the parish to the Lords it bore witness to the life of the nation. This is the first serious book I have read that engages with whether the Church will continue to play a covenantal role in our national life. -- Maurice Glasman, Lord Glasman of Stoke Newington
‘A remarkable achievement . . . there are . . . hopeful signs of forward thinking, imagination, and intellectual fruitfulness to be found alongside the passionate conviction’ * Church Times *
Jonathan Chaplin and Andrew Bradstock have done an excellent job in bringing together a wide range of church leaders, politicians, economists and theologians to present a diversity of perspectives on post Brexit Britain and the place of the Church of England within it - in a process which William Temple would recognise. -- Greg Smith * William Temple Foundation *
