A new book on the Anglican church written by the Diocesan Director of Ministry and Mission, the Revd Canon Andrew Norman, will have its official launch in Leeds later this month.
A Church Observed: being Anglican as times change has been described by former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, as ‘a very significant book indeed, deserving the widest welcome’.
In his book, Andrew uses his own family history and personal experience to ask what it means to be an Anglican in changing times and contexts.
“I hope A Church Observed will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the unfolding story of this unique family of churches,” says Andrew.
“It is design for a spectrum of readers, from those with only a sketchy knowledge of Anglican identity, to those reimagining ministry and seeking a deeper understanding of our common heritage.”
The Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, Josiah Idowu-Fearon, describes the new work as “..a timely encouragement to all Anglicans to appreciate afresh what we share in common and continue working at the gift of being a Communion.”
The official launch will take place on Monday 29 January from 6pm-7pm at Church House, 17-19 York Place, Leeds. Bishop Nick will be taking part and refreshments will be served. Any who would like to attend should let Jenice Guild know on jenice.guild@leeds.anglican.org
