- "We are a group of theologians who work mostly in a university context, and in theological education. .... Out of a basic belief that the Church of England should be able to move to a position of greater toleration of faithful, stable gay relationships, we want to lay out for those outside the academy, as well as within it, reasons why we believe this is a debate worth having in the church. It is the conviction of the authors of this volume that, for all that this is an issue on which there are serious matters of principle on both sides, and for all that the symbolic nature of the confrontation of Christian faith and modernity is very acute, this is not actually a decisive question for the survival of Christian faith itself, nor for the survival of the Church of England and of Anglicanism more widely". -- Intro., pp. 2-3.

- Notes
- "One of the biggest dangers for any faith community is for it to ossify; for a family of believers to convince itself that things can't get any better than they are and so oppose change. This edition of 'Anglican World' magazine clearly demonstrates that Anglicans and Episcopalians do not think this way. Rather, building on a solid foundation of faith, tradition and reason, our Anglican Communion welcomes the new and different and seeks to engage in its mission to do God's work".

- "The Anglican Communion has developed a habit of going through watershed events every decade, so this latest gathering in Canterbury [in 2008] is really nothing new. The Anglican Communion has been undergoing reformation for more than a century, ever since the Lambeth conferences began in 1867, constantly struggling with what it means to be 'in the world but not of the world'; that spiritual tension between faith and culture. The history of the Lambeth conferences points to that ongoing tension. Lambeth has dealt with a number of significant issues over the years -- including divorce, polygamy, the role of women in church leadership, and birth control. Over the past century it has re-formed its stand on a number of those issues".

- Notes
- Archbishop Tutu points out in his sermon that Christ "does not give a straightforward answer to the question 'who is my neighbour ?' ... It is as if Jesus wanted among other things to point out that life is a bit more complex; it has too many ambivalences and ambiguities for it always to be possible to provide a straightforward and often simplistic answer."

- Notes
- The author describes a recent meeting of the Episcopal Communicators (Episcopal Church U.S.A.) at the Kanuga Conference Center in North Carolina. He described for the gathering, which included partners from around the Communion, his perception of "the stark reality of how things are being received at our office as we attempt to serve the four instruments of unity". He was encouraged by the support he received there in the form of a song "Do something new in my life -- Lord -- yesterday is gone -- do something new". "I am not able to ascertain if the EC [Episcopal Communicators] meeting was a `success' for others, but for me, the group did something new. We are all as a Communion, I believe, in a new place -- asking the Lord to do something new [that] transcends time, place or situation. It's risky -- but in our prayer one thing that remains the same -- New Every Morning is the Love -- Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today and forever."

- "I have approached this matter by regarding Anglicanism as a tradition, indeed a discrete tradition within the broader tradition of Christianity. The present crisis in Anglicanism is created by the confluence of the two streams: the external historical developments of the second half of the twentieth century and the point of development from national church to international Communion of churches which is the story of the last three hundred years of Anglicanism. Each of these influences has an ambiguous impact on contemporary Anglicanism and is capable of moving the tradition in different. even mutually contradictory, directions. The future of Anglicanism will depend to a great degree on how the tradition responds to these two forces. It will need to find the resources within its own journey to enable it not only to respond but also to reinvent itself in a way that is both creative and faithful. In that sense my position on Anglicanism at the dawn of the twenty-first century is that it is a discrete tradition of Christianity in need of reinvention. In order to give the discussion some focus, I shall take Australia as an example of the problems. .... this book seeks to present an argument which tries to take the tradition seriously and pays attention to the current dynamics in Anglicanism by looking at those elements most used in the contemporary rhetoric, namely the New Testament, the English Reformation of the sixteenth century and the ongoing theological tradition." -- Intro., pp. 7-8.
- "Using the Anglican Church of Australia as a case study. Bruce Kaye argues that Anglicans must give up nostalgic notions of Empire and a colonial past and concentrate on `reinventing' Anglicanism to emphasize the strengths of its interdependent diversity and cultural pluralism -- vital tools for mission in a world deeply in need of reconciliation". -- back cover.
