Book Description
Issues of gender and sexuality are intrinsic to people’s experience: their sense of identity, their lives and the loving relationships that shape and sustain them. The life and mission of the Church of England – and of the worldwide Anglican Communion – are affected by the deep, and sometimes painful, disagreements about these matters, divisions brought into sharper focus because of society’s changing perspectives and practices, especially in relation to LGTBI+ people. Living in Love and Faith sets out to inspire people to think more deeply both about what it means to be human, and to live in love and faith with one another. It tackles the tough questions and the divisions among Christians about what it means to be holy in a society in which understandings and practices of gender, sexuality and marriage continue to change. Commissioned and led by the Bishops of the Church of England, the Living in Love and Faith project has involved many people across the Church and beyond, bringing together a great diversity and depth of expertise, conviction and experience to explore these matters by studying what the Bible, theology, history and the social and biological sciences have to say. After a Foreword from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the book opens with an invitation from the Bishops of the Church of England to embark on a learning journey in five parts: Part One sets current questions about human identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage in the context of God’s gift of life. Part Two takes a careful and dispassionate look at what is happening in the world with regard to identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. Part Three explores current Christian thinking and discussions about human identity, sexuality, and marriage. In the light of the good news of Jesus Christ, how do Christians understand and respond to the trends observed in Part Two? Part Four considers what it means for us as individuals and as a church to be Christ-like when it comes to matters of identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage. Part Five invites the reader into a conversation between some of the people who have been involved in writing this book who, having engaged with and written Parts One to Four, nevertheless come to different conclusions. Amid the biblical, theological, historical and scientific exploration, each part includes Encounters with real, contemporary disciples of Christ whose stories raise questions which ask us to discern where God is active in human lives. The book ends with an appeal from the Bishops to join them in a period of discernment and decision-making following the publication of Living in Love and Faith. The Living in Love and Faith book is accompanied by a range of free digital resources including films, podcasts and an online library, together with Living in Love and Faith: The Course, a 5-session course which is designed to help local groups engage with the resources, also published by Church House Publishing.

Book Description
ÒMy aim in writing this book has been to give to my brethren of the Anglican Communion what we do not at present possess, a comprehensive study of the Christian spiritual life. The need of such a work is becoming increasingly clear; there are signs in many quarters of a real desire for the spiritual life, and priests are beginning to discover the vital and practical importance of a knowledge of ascetical theology. . . . ÒThe plan of the book is simple. Part I deals with the action of God in the soul by grace; Part II with the human resistance to the divine will and the means whereby that resistance may be overcome; Part III is a brief outline of the divine economy of the sacraments; Part IV is concerned with the life of prayer, and in Part V we consider the end of the spiritual life and the ways by which that end may be reached, concluding with a chapter on the guidance of souls with some consideration of the qualities of the ideal director.Ó --from the Preface

Book Description
Description: --What is Anglicanism and how is it distinctive? --Where did it come from and where is it ? --Which beliefs, values, and practices stand at the heart of this important, global Communion? --How can its rich heritage help it move into the future? This book is an essential guide to the Anglican tradition for anyone who has ever wondered what Anglicanism-the largest Protestant denomination in the world-is all about. Now fully updated and significantly revised, this second edition of Our Anglican Heritage gives voice to the strong and vibrant evangelical roots of Anglican Christianity. Events at the start of the twenty-first century have threatened to tear the Communion apart. The authors of this book, both Episcopal clergy, each responded to the crisis in different ways. One, a bishop, chose to stay in the Episcopal Church. The other chose to lead his congregation out of the Episcopal Church and into another Anglican Province. This book is a reflection of the strong faith and heritage they still share, and a recommitment to the biblical principles that still undergird and enliven Anglicanism. Endorsements: "I very much hope that all of you will read this excellent little book, Our Anglican Heritage. It is clear, it is forthright, it is well written, it is pungent, it is faithful, it is courageous." --Rev. John R.W. Stott Rector Emeritus, All Souls Anglican Church, "In a way one could say that Christ Church, Plano was built on the first edition of Our Anglican Heritage. Ever since I read it twenty-five years ago, it has been the staple that we recommend and give to all of our new members. In its new edition, the authors have done it again. They have given the church a clear and compelling account of what Anglicanism is, where it came from, and how it can be a trusted, magnificent, and reliable way of living out the Christian Faith." --The Rev. David H. Roseberry Rector, Christ Church in Plano, Texas "The publication of a new edition of Bishop Howe's Our Anglican Heritage is an event to be celebrated! Anglicanism can only be understood through its history, and here is a readable, fair, and concise account of that history. Clergy and laity alike should rejoice that this resource is available to them in a revised and updated form. Full marks to Bishop Howe and Dr. Pascoe for this excellent and much needed piece of work!" --The Very Rev. Philip Turner III Vice President of The Anglican Communion Institute former Dean of Berkley Divinity School at Yale About the Contributor(s): The Right Reverend John Howe is the Episcopal Bishop of Central Florida. With his wife Karen he co-authored Which Way?: A Guide for Young Christians, along with numerous articles. He is the author of the first edition of Our Anglican Heritage (1976). The Reverend Dr. Sam Pascoe is an Anglican priest serving as resident clergy at Jacksonville Anglican Fellowship. He was an Episcopal priest for over twenty years, serving churches in Virginia and Florida. He left the American Episcopal Church in 2006 and is now a member of the Anglican Church in North America. He is the author of Buried Alive, a study of the Anglican Articles of Religion.
