- Notes
- The Bishop of London, the Rt. Rev. David Hope, has announced what is called `The London Plan' in response to the Church of England's Ordination of Women to the Priesthood Measure. The Plan asks the Metropolitan (in this case the Archbishop of Canterbury) to designate a bishop (commissary) to ordain women in an area where the bishop will not do the same. The area bishop still maintains pastoral oversight as far as possible.

- "Three suffragan bishops, two in Canterbury province and one in York, will be appointed to serve as Provincial Episcopal Visitors (PEV) to minister to people, both evangelical and catholic, in the Church of England, who do not accept the Synod's decision to ordain women as priests. Called "An Act of Synod" the plan was presented to the November Synod of the Church of England by the House of Bishops who agreed as a body to implement its goals. The plan is based on a plan initiated by the Bishop of London, Dr. David Hope, conceived shortly after the vote for women priests in 1992."

[The author] attempts to restate the theological and practical role of bishops, in relation to the clergy, laity, synods and councils, the Free Churches and the Roman Catholic Church. Until their position as leaders is clarified, the voice of the bishops in the common search for unity will be unconvincing, and the Anglican Church will be in danger of losing its identity". -- back cover.

- "Unlike other human groups which define themselves by a model of kinship, members of the Church belong by virtue of adoption by a God who is free and unconstrained. The authors finds tribalism at work in the Church, a kind of 'old boy's network' which forms its tight-knit boundaries, not by flamboyant and obvious bigotry, but by a coolly argued defence of things as they are. In fact, this is disguised nepotism, a refusal to accept the Church as the adopted people of a generous God, and regarding it instead as a privileged tribe. This book shows in quite practical ways how these hidden assumptions can operate and is a prophetic call to a riskier version of broken boundaries and open acceptance". -- back cover.

- "The purpose of this book is twofold. It provides brief portraits of forty-eight bishops who were in office from about the time of the 1832 Reform Bill, when the Church of England as well as the nation as a whole entered a period of continuous change, until the final years of the twentieth century." -- Intro., p. [1].
- Beeson "ends by asking why such able and interesting bishops are now in short supply and wonders whether the hectically busy managerial role assumed by the bishops of the new millennium represents a betrayal of the Episcopal office and a consequent weakening of the Church's witness in an incredibly secularized society. Looking not far ahead, the likely impact of women bishops is also discussed". -- back cover.

- Notes
- "The revival of Religious communities among Anglicans from the 1840s onwards was a process fraught with controversies. Bishops were placed from the beginning at the heart of these conflicts and so their actions are an integral part of the history of Anglican Religious Life. Yet they are often viewed as simply reactive, grudgingly coming to accept the revival and doing little to encourage seriously its energies and achievements. The bishops are portrayed by some historical narratives as the great obstacle with which heroic Religious battled for acceptance. After all, it was nearly a hundred years before communities in the Church of England gained official recognition in 1935 with the creation of the Advisory Council. However, the evolving relationship of communities and bishops was much more complex and nuanced. Nothing illustrates this more than the debates at the Lambeth Conferences of 1897 and 1908, which reveal and appreciation and support for Religious Life among bishops far more understanding and concerned than many contemporary Religious might have believed. To understand the episcopal-Religious relationship among Anglicans, it would seem worth reconsidering these forgotten debates" (p. 41).

- "During the past ten years, the House of Bishops of the Church of England has been aware of the need to strengthen the theological foundations of its work. Following debate in the General Synod on the report `Episcopal Ministry', the House requested the Faith and Order Advisory Group of the Council for Christian Unity to work on the theology and practice of episcopal collegiality. What does it mean for bishops to work together as one body ? How does this help to ensure that the Church is maintained in that unity in the truth for which Christ prayed ? What theological principles undergird episcopal collegiality ? How does this reflect and enhance the ministry and mission of the whole priestly body of the Church ? .... We commend [this paper] for study and reflection by bishops, members of the General Synod and all with a concern for leadership in the Church of Christ". -- Foreword.

- "The Church of England is a unique institution. It is the only church in the world to have its bishops appointed by the prime minister so they can set in parliament. .... Deeply conservative by instinct, the Church of England has nevertheless taken the radical and momentous decision to ordain women to the priesthood. Schism stares the Church in the face; and for the first time in its history it is also confronting a potentially disastrous financial crisis. To investigate the turbulence Michael De-la-Noy has visited parish churches, retreat houses, theological colleges, humble rectories and Lambeth Palace. He has talked to nuns, to lay readers, to hospital chaplains and team rectors. The Church failings are here writ large ...But it is in the faith and courage, moral and physical of its individual members that its virtues are to be found. The is a personal and human account of the oldest institution in England -- the Ecclesia Anglicana of Magna Carta." -- front dust jacket blurb.
