A short guide to the origins, structure and values of the Churches of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
Paul Avis explains and clarifies the history and theology involved, and introduces concepts in a structured way, making the book clear to those who may be coming to these issues for the first time. It is also an invaluable aide-memoire and reference tool for the specialist, presenting a clear outline of the structure, form, function, disposition and beliefs of the Church.
The 2nd edition is more up-to-date in its examples and refers to developments such as Fresh Expressions, women bishops and the Anglican Covenant, and is also more reader-friendly, with questions for reflection or discussion and suggestions for further reading.
Paul Avis was formerly General Secretary of the Church of England's Council for Christian Unity, and is now Theological Consultant to the Anglican Communion Office. He is also convening editor of the journal Ecclesiology.
