| Summary |
This volume covers the twentieth-century history of Anglicanism in North America, Britain and Ireland, and Australasia. A historiographical introduction sets the scene in terms of currents of changing historical interpretation, highlighting particular perspectives on secularization, decolonization, mission, and the theological identity of Anglicanism which thread through the whole volume, and which note the impact on Western Anglicanism of the global Communion's movement away from an Anglo-centric leadership and a British imperial legacy towards greater diversity and greater influence for the global South. Ten themed chapters open up complementary aspects of the history of Western Anglicanism, including theological development, social justice, women, human sexuality, ecumenical relations, mission and decolonization, war and peace, liturgical revision, sociological analysis, and the relationship of Church, state, and nationalism. A further section on institutional development looks at the history of Communion-wide institutions in the twentieth century, and at changing ideas of Anglican identity. A final section surveys the regional history of Western Anglicanism in three substantial chapters examining successively Australia and New Zealand, North America, and the British Isles |
