- "[B]y Kenneth G. Grubb".
- "Copyright by Sir Kenneth Grubb. First printed 1964". -- verso of t.-p.
- "To the question of what use there is for the laity here today, [the author] replies that their historical role has been to pioneer many of the great reforms and religious movements within the Church of England and in society at large. It is the task of the laity today to discover what they should do and do it. He discusses the laity as the people of God, the problems of a layman in the secular world, and in particular the place of the laity in Church government -- a contribution which he is uniquely able to give". -- back cover.
