Beskrivning

The Church of England’s status as the only established church in the Anglican Communion often sparks heated debates, with critics calling it an outdated relic in need of reform. Yet, beneath the surface of public discourse lies a broader and more nuanced conversation – one that this book brings to light. A Voice in the Wilderness gathers an eclectic mix of voices – politicians, historians, journalists, theologians and experienced clergy – to explore the enduring value of the Church of England’s public role. Far from a one-sided defence of establishment, this collection captures the diverse reasons people from various walks of life cherish the Church’s unique place in society. Highlighting perspectives from unexpected quarters, the book challenges common assumptions and invites readers to reconsider what it means for a church to be ‘established’ in a modern, pluralistic society. Both a contribution to the ongoing debate and a reflection of the varied opinions surrounding the Church, A Voice in the Wilderness is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, culture and public life.

Recensioner i media

This book is essential reading. Should the established church retain its unique, privileged role in the life of the country? With a new King, new church leadership, talk of a ‘quiet revival’ in religious belief and church attendance, and attempts by ethno-nationalist forces to appropriate religion, it is time to rethink the relationship between faith and the public realm. This diverse, thoughtful and timely collection will be a vital resource for all of those interested in exploring many of the most challenging issues facing our society and democracy over the coming years.
