At a time when the Anglican Communion is in crisis, this is a very timely book that looks at the common ground between the differing wings of the Church of England.

A vital contribution to the Anglican - Evangelical debate
- Author is well known as an active member of the Anglican Church General Synod and a heartfelt evangelical.
- A book for all church leaders and those training for ministry in the Anglican Church.

At a time when Anglican and Evangelical seem to be increasingly polarised rather than part of the same tradition, an Evangelical Anglican takes a fresh look at the historical and contemporary expressions of each to assess their distinctive standpoints, to show how much common ground they share and to examine what this means for the church today. Practitioners who consider themselves on one or the other side of the debate, as well as those who would ally themselves with both traditions, will welcome this new appraisal with its insight into meeting points and mutual goals. This is a vital contribution for all who are concerned to arrest the perception, whatever the reality, of the Anglican church's inexorable decline.
