For those of us who have been engaged in battle on the frontline of Anglicanism and watched with both horror and hope the spiritual warfare that has raged across the globe, you may now find some comfort, consolation indeed inspiration from this new volume on the history of Anglicanism.
It could not be more timely. Anglicanism, as it has been practiced in recent years, has been fraught with ‘heresies distressed’ and the doctrinal and moral wars fought has left the battlefield littered with corpses. The wounded still walk amongst us.
The Anglican ship of state continues to roil but it also continues to move steadily forward, at times listing, but then righting itself and growing as new Anglican beacons are lit to show us the way and reveal to us that all is not lost.
This slim volume by five scholars, two of whom are practicing pastors, is a lighthouse with its beam piercing the darkness, offering hope in what many had come to believe to be a hopelessly divided situation.
