Catholic Life in the Church of England: Good News for Every Body

The Catholic tradition offers a rich and varied resource for the Church of England to draw upon. Far from being the preserve of one discrete corner of the national church, it offers instead an abundant seam of theology, practice and spirituality which is a gift to the whole body of Christ. First presented as a series of study days held at St Peter de Beauvoir Town, North London, the contributions in this book explore the richness and diversity of the Anglo-Catholic tradition. Chapters reflect on how the tradition can speak into all aspects of life, from community to prayer, worship to marriage, celibacy to justice. With essays from Rowan Williams, Morwenna Ludlow, Michael Leyden, Ben Kerridge, Mitzi James, Jack Noble, Sally Jones, and Charlie Bell, and homilies from Peter Groves, Joanne Grenfell and Nicolas Stebbing.
