The decades which followed saw a seismic shift in the foundations of the C of E, leading to the loss of more than half its members and much of its influence. In England today 'religion' has become a toxic brand, and Anglicanism something done by other people. How did this happen? Is there any way back? This 'relentlessly honest' and surprisingly entertaining book tells the dramatic and contentious story of the disappearance of the Church of England from the centre of public life. The authors - religious correspondent Andrew Brown and academic Linda Woodhead - watched this closely, one from the inside and one from the outside. This book shows what happened and explains why. 610 20 $a Church of England $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a Church of England $x History $y 21st century. 610 20 $a Church of England $x Membership. 700 1 $a Woodhead, Linda, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180106030414.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170405035026.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5BDF64D08B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
