History of the Church of England 1945-1980

An informative portrait of the modern Church of England, this book traces the process by which the Church grew more independent of the State, stronger in its relations with other Churches, more flexible in its worship, and more democratic in its government and ministry. Whether it is the reorganization of city and country parish life after the war, or the more sensational moral and theological problems of the '60s, or the heart-searching discussions over the ordination of women, Welsby recounts all the absorbing events of the past forty years with sound judgment and impartiality.Welsby, Paul A. is the author of 'History of the Church of England 1945-1980', published 1987 under ISBN 9780198266891 and ISBN 0198266898.
