Praying for England by Sam Wells
It is often said that the heart of Anglicanism is not about numbers, but it is less frequently articulated what that heart actually is. This book identifies and testifies to that heart. Each chapter herein reflects on and quietly celebrates the particular character of Anglicanism, namely its incarnate ministry of prayerful presence.
