Notes
"A Canadian university professor has discovered that the Prayer for the Monarch, contained in the 1662 'Book of Common Prayer' (BCP) and retained by many provinces, in one form or another, was written by Katherine Parr, the last wife of Henry VIII, and selected for use in the BCP by Queen Elizabeth I. Carleton University Professor Micheline White made her 'accidental' discovery while researching one of Parr's ladies-in-waiting. She came across a book of prayers published by Parr, which included a prayer for the king that struck a remarkable similarity to the prayer still used in the BCP".

"This book considers the three main tendencies of Anglicanism (Evangelism, Catholicism and the Middle Way). After looking at doctrine, priesthood, episcopacy, establishment, politics, internationalism, ecumenism and comprehensiveness, it predicts that all three tendencies will survive and may be joined by others. The conclusions and pointers will often be found controversial. But the author believes that `Anglicanism will remain a loose international conglomerate of Christians believing many different things. Its unity will be constantly strained: its members will be constantly tempted to disunity, but not above what most of them are able to bear. Anglicanism has the experience of containing differences, the tolerance of theological adventurousness, the confidence and prestige born of long existence, to carry this off. And truth, that elusive commodity made up of as many parts as matter itself, will be served as a result'." -- Back cover.

"[By] Edward Norman".
"Reprinted 2004".
"Since then [mid nineteenth century] there has been an uninterrupted internal crisis of identity. And that is the normal condition of modern Anglicanism: a body without definition, since it sidelined its teaching authority, the Book of Common Prayer, in the second half of the twentieth century; a body uneasily held together by equivocation and paper compromise; a body, furthermore, with little idea where it is going, in the increasingly alien cultural circumstances of modern society. .... Issues like divorce or abortion or adultery are all clearly defined within Anglican teaching but both clergy and laity today prefer to leave them as open matters -- rather than face the disruptive consequences, and the demonstration of an absence of unity, which public re-statements would provoke. The Anglican way -- almost the hallmark of Anglicanism -- is to compose vacuous forms of words within which hugely divergent viewpoints can be accommodated. It is the promotion of expediency over principle, and is the manner in which Anglicanism is held together". -- Intro., pp. xii-xiii.
Contents: Introduction -- Failure of leadership -- Worship -- Ambiguous social teaching : 1. Social and political morality -- Ambiguous social teaching : 2. Human sexuality -- Establishment -- Indifferentism -- The crisis of authority in the Church : 1. Causes -- The crisis of authority in the Church : 2. Effects -- Does the Church of England have a future ?

Includes bibliographical references.
"Modernity is a set of questions, preoccupations and anxieties, and Anglicanism is equipped to engage with them in what one of our authors calls `conversational' mode. Anglicanism `answers' modernity because it has bothered to listen to it and thinks it is worth talking with. In a good conversation, something is genuinely contributed towards a common future, but always in response to the reality of what's presented, rather than in lecturing or preaching mode". -- Preface, p. viii.

Notes
The coronation oath for Britain's next monarch could be changed to reflect the country's multicultural, multifaith society, the archbishop of Canterbury suggested recently. But Archbishop George Carey ruled out severing the link between the Church of England and the state, as some royal critics are demanding". The Archbishop of York, John Habgood, also added "the the country's tolerance with the Royal Family was being tested. 'I think in our rather intrusive and prurient age this sort of thing does become a matter of public concern', the archbishop said."

"Advancing reconciliation with Indigenous people will be a major test for King Charles III, prominent Canadian Anglicans say .... Roseanne Archibald, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, urged the Crown to fulfill Call to Action No. 45 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which includes demands for the Government of Canada to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery, the historical justification used by European monarchs to colonize Indigenous lands; and to issue a 'Royal Proclamation of Reconciliation' reaffirming nation-to-nation relations with Canada's Indigenous peoples" (p. 1).
"Bishop Chris Harper of the diocese of Saskatoon -- who is Plains Cree and the first priest from Treaty 6 territory ordained as a bishop in the Anglican Church of Canada -- says reconciliation presents an opportunity for King Charles III to 'start to see where he can come with the community and with the people themselves .. How he handles it will I think determine the strength of the monarchy going ahead in decades'. Archbishop Linda Nicholls, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, believes Charles is attuned to the needs of the country's Indigenous peoples".
"Canon Michael Jackson, president of the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada, a monarchist group, notes that ties between the monarch and Indigenous peoples of Canada long predate Confederation in 1867" (p. 11).
Ray Aldred, director of the Indigenous Studies program at the Vancouver School of Theology, says that generally speaking, "Indigenous peoples in Canada saw the treaties they made as being with the Crown, and sometimes saw the Crown as better disposed toward them than the elected Canadian government. 'On different occasions Indigenous people would petition the Crown because the Canadian government was not friendly to Indigenous people in Canada', he says" (p. 11).
"Bishop Riscylla Shaw, suffragan bishop for Trent-Durham in the diocese of Toronto, says she hopes and prays that Charles will support 'processes around people's need for self-determination'. .... Shaw, who is Métis, calls the change in monarch ' a new day for reconciliation and relationship-building'" (p. 11).
"Some Indigenous leaders, including Terry Teegee, regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, have called on Charles not just to denounce but to actually repeal the doctrine [of Discovery]" (p. 11).
"In May [2022], Métis National Council President Cassidy Caron said Queen Elizabeth II should apologize for Canada's residential school system to help survivors their families heal. Caron said residential school survivors told her an apology from the Queen, as leader of the Anglican Church and Canada's head of state, would be important to them" (p. 11-12).
"Canon Murray Still, co-chair of the Anglican Council of Indigenous Peoples, hopes King Charles III will make a statement on the residential schools. 'Before he was king, [Charles] did make a visit to Canada and heard from survivors of the residential schools, and I think the most recent discovery of children's remains in Kamloops and elsewhere impacted him', Still says" (p. 12).

[Challenge to Church of England]

A cold challenge to the Church of England to widen its horizons and play a dynamic role as the mother church of the world-wide Anglican Communion is made by a Canadian bishop in the April issue of Canadian Churchman.
Rt. Rev. G.N. Luxton, Bishop of Huron, says in the article that the English church's senior membership in the communion is unquestioned. But so far as leadership within the body, with its 19 national autonomous churches and a membership of 47,000,000, "her activity is restricted to a few persons and a few special issues" with the rest seemingly so "centred on their own domestic problems that they lack time or energy for wider concerns."
While admitting the difficulties inherent in the Church of England's position as an established church, Bishop Luxton says a radical change in its present structure is called for.
"She needs some form of synodical government at every level of her life," he says. "For over a century we have enjoyed such order in the Canadian church; we find it hard to understand how a church can exist without it. It is the duly-elected representatives of the people of God gathered to govern the church. In ancient days when the English church was the nation, and the nation was the church, there was some warrant for civil parliament holding control of the church and having the final word in deciding her laws, her worship and her leadership. I have read most of the defences offered for this anomalous situation. They are unconvincing."
Bishop Luxton believes there is need for an organized and planned unity within the Anglican Communion which would not mean either authoritarianism or bureaucracy. He favors the appointment of a commission to prepare a plan and commit the churches of the communion to an over-all strategy of mission. He suggests also a modest administration centre for joint work and a research and study group to evaluate the communion's work on all continents.
The article appears about four months before the opening of the Lambeth Conference in London where some 500 bishops of the Anglican Communion will meet at the call of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The conference which has been held approximately every 10 years since 1867 is not a legislative body but its resolutions concerning problems affecting the communion and society in general have become increasingly important in the ecclesiastical world. Bishop Luxton who will be among 38 Canadian bishops attending makes it clear that his views are personal and unofficial.
