The language of heritage permeates Scripture, encouraging Christians to approach church history like a family history. But the notion of ancestry also constrains the world’s Catholics and Protestants to trace their confessional descent from Europe, rendering them perpetual latecomers in the historical chain. "Ancestral Feeling" systematically diagnoses the postcolonial problems generated by an ancestral outlook. But, applying critical theories in cultural studies to the study of church history, the book experiments with ways that the Western Christian inheritance can awaken the memory of one’s own ancestors. Writing a personal reflection on her family’s history in British-ruled Hong Kong, Renie Chow Choy engages autobiographically with England’s ecclesiastical art, architecture, music, and literature, in order to affirm her attachment to a heritage normally associated with English national identity. For global and immigrant Christians brought into a relationship with English Christianity by colonialism but are bypassed by its history, this book makes a bold declaration: England’s Christian heritage is also our story.

A richly illustrated exploration of Westminster Abbey's memorials through the histories of Indigenous Peoples in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.Westminster Abbey has a long history that invites reflection. As part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Abbey seeks to uphold United Nations and Commonwealth values by using its cultural heritage to address social and ethical challenges and contribute to peace, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue. More than eighty memorials, graves and objects within Westminster Abbey, St Margaret’s Church and the Abbey precincts relate to the former British Dominions and colonial America – nations shaped by large-scale British settlement and its lasting consequences for Indigenous Peoples.This book considers memorials to explorers, monarchs and political, military, literary and religious figures through the histories of Indigenous Peoples in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa: custodians of lands and waterways; petitioners before the Crown; negotiators of treaties; allies in war; translators of language; and transmitters of faith. In a collaboration between over fifty contributors – including clergy, parliamentary officials, academics, community historians and young people – the book explores the enduring connections between Indigenous nations, settler societies and the Abbey as a site of prayer, conscience, remembrance and global gathering.This volume is the inaugural publication of Westminster Abbey Public History research – history told with the public, for the public, about an iconic space that is meaningful to the public.
