By Kevin Ward
Anglicanism could be noticeable as irredeemably English. during this e-book Kevin Ward questions that assumption. He explores the nature of the African, Asian, Oceanic, Caribbean and Latin American church buildings that are now a majority within the world-wide communion, and exhibits how they're decisively shaping what it capability to be Anglican. whereas emphasising the significance of colonialism and neo-colonialism for explaining the globalisation of Anglicanism, Ward doesn't concentration predominantly at the church buildings of england and N. the United States; nor does he privilege the belief of Anglicanism as an 'expansion of English Christianity'. At a time while Anglicanism faces the chance of dissolution Ward explores the traditionally deep roots of non-Western varieties of Anglicanism, and the significance of the variety and suppleness which has to date enabled Anglicanism to advance cohesive but multiform identities worldwide.

By the 1851 census, three-quarters of people in Wales belonged to Nonconformist churches. The late nineteenth century saw some recovery – with a vigorous church planting in the industrial areas, and (with the growth of Anglo-Catholicism) a renewed sense of the distinctive nature of a Welsh Anglican identity. In the 1905 census it was still the largest denomination in Wales. But by this time it had long been on the defensive against a self-confident and socially radical Welsh Nonconformism. The Welsh church was the last of the non-English Anglican churches to be disestablished, in 1922.
Wales Wales was most closely bound up with England, politically and in its ecclesiastical structure. The Reformation served to strengthen these ties institutionally. The Welsh dioceses were an integral part of the Province of Canterbury, though generally poorer than English dioceses. One of the signs of the success of reformation in Wales was the realisation that it must be conveyed through the medium of Welsh, which remained until the nineteenth century the language of a large majority of the inhabitants.
