The world-wide church, particularly the anglican Church is increasingly split between liberals and conservatives. Can it hold together, and does it matter? Here are some well-considered, practical and acclaimed proposals that would allow the different traditions to live together.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
A very important contribution. George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury There is much in it to admire...I have no ready alternative to offer. John Habgood, former Archbishop of York It should be read by everybody who cares about the future of the Anglican Church...an alternative strategy to schism that could prevent the Anglican Church from committing suicide. Nicholas Stacey, clergyman and former deputy director of Oxfam The homosexual issue has exposed deep fault lines within Anglicanism. The author analyses these, and offers solutions that are far preferable to schism and strife. William Frend, retired Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Glasgow University I find it both persuasive and stimulating. Anthony Howard, Times columnist and commentator on Church of England affairs Stimulating, controversial, and full of good sense, as I would expect. Jack Nicholls, Bishop of Sheffield Your thoughts will be shared with the Commission. Robin Eames, Archbishop of Armagh and chairman of the Eames Commission
About the Author
Robert Van de Weyer is a priest in the Church of England, and has ministered in a small village near Cambridge since 1982. He was warden of the Little Gidding Community from 1977 until 1994. He was a university lecturer in economics for twenty years, and is now a tutor in philosophy. He has written over fifty books on theology, world religions, philosophy, church history and economics. His first book, Guru Jesus, told the story of his life as a hippy in the 1960s, and his conversion to Christianity. A later book, Wickwyn, won the Winifred Mary Stanbrook book prize, and his Islam and the West, written in the wake of 9/11, was a global bestseller.
