Description

The idea of British identity has been thrown into question by the debates around the EU Referendum, but now that Brexit is here, it’s time to think positively and constructively about Britain’s future. How might Britain as a multinational state understand its own defining moral and political commitments in relation to its European neighbours? If, as many suggest, a resurgence of English nationhood has been the driving force behind Brexit, how might the Church of England, as the ‘national Church’ in England, and its neighbouring Anglican Churches, respond to this and the many other missional challenges they face? Those of us still wondering what to make of Brexit – including reflective Christians, politicians, journalists, think-tanks and religious leaders – will find much to stimulate thought and discussion here. The contributors have a wealth of specialist knowledge of the churches, Brexit and the EU; they draw on this and the legacies of Anglican – and more broadly Christian – social and political theology to offer their rich and nuanced responses to a range of crucial questions. ‘Seeks to challenge Christians of all views to imagine a future with hope.’ Dr Anna Rowlands ‘This is the first serious book I have read that engages with whether the Church will continue to play a covenantal role in our national life.’ Maurice Glasman, Lord Glasman of Stoke Newington

This book truly reflects the Anglican communion in the UK, divided but united. Brexit has divided the country the world for the last few years and in this book, members of the Anglican communion reflect, bring a range of views, and suggest how Britain can change going forward with the help of the Church. The essays are ranging on subjects but all insightful. Thoroughly educating and enjoyable at the same time

Thanks for the advanced copy, I thought I had already left a review for it.

When requested I did not realise it was going to be from an Anglican viewpoint but I found this some what fascinating and I learned a lot. Brexit, like religion is and has been such a divisive subject and will be for many decades to come.

To be honest when I requested to read this book I didn't realize that it was with an Anglican focus. It was good though as I learned even more than expected.

I don't think I realised that this book will be written from an Anglican point of view, however, it was undeniably really interesting. I enjoyed reading about different perspectives, trying to understand how other people think and what their reasoning is. As someone who still doesn't understand Brexit and always assumed it wouldn't happen (pre-referendum), I find it fascinating to learn what opinions are there in the Anglican church.
