Bøger af Max a C Warren

''The religious traditions of Great Britain are in the main Christian''. So says the law of the land, but recent crises are exposing the vulnerability of those traditions to the manipulation of those with other agendas. Canon Max Warren''s three lectures on ''The Functions of a National Church'' were delivered in 1963. At the time, he was ahead of many of his colleagues in his thinking about the role of the Church of England. Warren''s insightful lectures offer much material for discussion. In the first edition of this study the three lectures were accompanied by an introduction by Raymond Johnston regarding the theological basis for a National Church; in this second edition, David Holloway follows the trajectory up to the present day with a discussion of ''British Values''.Canon Max Warren (1904-1979) was Vicar of Holy Trinity Cambridge, general secretary of the Church Missionary Society, and sub-dean of Westminster Abbey.Raymond Johnston (1927-1985) was director of CARE Trust (formerly the Nationwide Festival of Light).David Holloway has been Vicar of Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne since 1973. He was for many years a member of the General Synod of the Church of England. He then helped start the Christian Institute, Reform and Anglican International Development (AID).
