Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book centers around a proposal for a moment of national reconciliation and the healing of deep, internal divisions within the Church of England. Delivered at a moment in Britain's history filled with intense religious, political, and social conflict, the author argues that alterations in the Church of England's liturgy and constitution are not simply a matter of preference, but a moral and practical necessity for the preservation of the Church and the stability of the nation. These changes are not presented as a compromise in the name of union, but rather as a fair and just form of welcoming those to whom the current structure poses an obstacle, thereby increasing rather than decreasing the unity and strength of the Church itself. The author goes to great lengths to address objections to the proposed changes, engaging in vigorous dialogue with those who would maintain tradition without regard to the consequences, and articulating a vision for a Christianity that is open, tolerant, and seeks above all else to reflect the teachings ascribed to its central figure.
