The Anglican Church in the Anglophone Caribbean
Historical and Cultural Perspectives
Description
This book highlights the Church's significant cultural, social, and political presence across the Anglophone Caribbean.
Individual authors collectively provide a series of readings of historical and contemporary issues negotiated by the Anglican Church in the Caribbean that capture the complex, integral role the church played in shaping the individual identities of the islands while seeking also to be a pan-national voice for a shared set of global values and aspirations expressed regionally.
The volume offers religious and secular readers an opportunity to better understand the role and history of the Anglican Church in the region. It acknowledges historical failures, challenges the notion that the church is "colonial," and highlights the continuing importance of the Church to individual lives and regional aspirations. Combining examination of the church's complicated relationship with history and a variety of personal engagements with Anglicanism in the Caribbean, The Anglican Church in the Anglophone Caribbean demonstrates the continuing significance of the Anglican Church in the development and contemporary life of the region.
