Summary "Britannia, Europa and Christendom reveals the important, but little known, role of the Christian Churches in debates on the question of Britain and a united Europe. The discussion ranges from the new forgotten British federalist boom of the 1930s and 1940s, through the Cold War and the ups and downs of Britain's fraught post-war relationship with the European Movement, to its belated membership of the European Union. In so doing, it bring to light the elite webs of influence linking Christians and politicians and examines their sometimes problematic nature."--BOOK JACKET
