This is a lively and informative guide to the Church of England, from its Romano-British origins to the central church structures of the twenty-first century. It defines doctrine and how to address a Dean, covers Canon Law and explores the implications of Establishment; looks at mission and maintenance, music and ministry. From the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Thirty-Nine Articles and from Royal Peculiars to inter-faith relations, this invaluable resource brings together in a single volume the diverse threads that make up the Church of England.

Reviews for A Guide to the Church of England

"""A real 'nuts-and-bolts' book for all those who want to know a brief history of the Church of England and how it is run from national to local parish levels."" - The Bookseller, 2008 ""In Davie's short work one has enough to make sense of the Church of England and any clergyman, minister or rabbi serious about interfaith issues and understanding 'the other' would do well to have this on their study shelves."" Common Ground ""Pretty much all you need to know about the Church of England is here, at a glance ... Warmly recommended."" - Church Times Mention -Book News, November 2008"
