- "The original conception of this book goes back some years. The writer, when in China, taught theological students Church History and other subjects related to Anglicanism, and was impressed by the lack of any book which sets out to do for the Anglican Communion the sort of thing done by the later Bishop of Chichester's 'A Brief Sketch of the Church of England'. .... The first draft of this book resulted, and, had circumstances permitted, it would have been translated into Chinese and published there. Since then much of the material has been used for lectures at St. Augustine's College, Canterbury; parts have been expanded, other parts cuts down, all has been written as for English readers, and the result is a new book". -- Preface.
