Aprašymas

Bishops Past, Present and Future (Gilead Books 2022) is the

most comprehensive and up-to-date Anglican study of episcopacy

produced in recent times. Drawing on primary sources

from the New Testament to the present day, it provides detailed

answers to three key questions: 'Why should the Church

of England have bishops?' 'What is the proper role of bishops?'

and 'How should bishops respond to the challenges facing the

Church of England and the Church in the West in general?'

Bishops Past, Present and Future - A Concise Study summarises

the key points of the argument of this major study. It is designed

to meet the needs of those who would like to know the

answers to the three questions about bishops noted above, but

who would balk at tackling the 800+ pages of the original book.

This concise study is published in the hope that will help many

in the Church of England, both ordained and lay to think in

a more informed fashion about how bishops should respond

to the challenges facing the Church of England at this critical

point in its history as it considers how to move forward following

the publication of the Living in Love and Faith material
