How the Anglican Communion Came to Be and Where It Is Going 12+

📒 'The Anglican Communion has emerged out of faithfulness to God's Word. It is built on the sacrifices and gifts of countless people. We believe it has a future under God but also that it needs, once again, to be reformed, renewed and equipped for its calling in today's world.' Such is the conclusion drawn by this study, published to coincide with the second GAFCON (Global Anglican Future Conference) in Nairobi, as it draws over a thousand representatives from every corner of the globe. The Anglican Communion is at a watershed in its development, and Bishop Michael offers an overview of its history and the issues it has faced, before drawing out the principles which should characterise its future. Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali was formerly bishop of Rochester, bishop of Raiwind in Pakistan, and General Secretary of CMS. Dr. Nazir-Ali's recent publications include Latimer Briefing 13: 'Justification by Faith: Orientating the Church's teaching and practice to Christ', 'The Unique and Universal Christ', and 'Triple Jeopardy for the West' which examines the very hot topics of aggressive secularism, radical Islam, and multiculturalism. He is currently the President of the Oxford Centre for Training, Research, Advocacy, and Dialogue.
