A Short History of the Church of Ireland by Kenneth Milne
The Church of Ireland traces its history back to the coming of Christianity to Ireland in the fifth century. This compact book outlines briefly and simply that history from the beginning, down through the Reformation period when the church was established as the State church. There followed centuries of plantations and penal laws until eventually, in the nineteenth century, the church was disestablished. The book concludes with the state of the church today. Kenneth Milne, a former Principal of the Church of Ireland College of Education, tells the story of the Church in the context of Irish history, helping the reader to understand some of the situations in which the Church found itself, and still does today.
Paul Harron was formerly Church of Ireland Press Officer. He works professionally as a Senior Communications Manager, and is also an architectural and art historian. Kenneth Milne is Historiographer of the Church of Ireland and Keeper of the Archives at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.
