'..an excellent guide.' - Theo Hobson, The Tablet

'This is a cautious and careful academic exploration of the issues posed by establishment and of the spectrum of ways in which these issues might be treated, and establishment to this or that extent amended...This book is important reading for those who want to do some forward thinking on these issues' - The Church Times

'...the narrative is so well balanced, thorough and elegantly expressed...Morris' book serves as a timely checklist of the issues and flashpoints which need to be addressed.' - Ecclesiastical Law Journal
