Reflections in Glass: Trends and Tensions in the Contemporary Church

'I certainly am not going to be bullied by fundamentalist Christians' - Archbishop Peter Carnley throughout his career as Archbishop of Perth, Peter Carnley has raised issues that have challenged Christians, including those of his own Church, and have sometimes exposed the faultlines of ideological and theological division within the Church. Reflections in Glass is a candid exploration of these key ideological issues facing Anglicanism in Australia. Peter Carnley explores areas such as progressive orthodoxy: whether it is possible to be Anglican and fundamentalist; the value of diversity in Church experience; the reasonableness of Sydney Anglicanism; lay presidency at the Eucharist; and women bishops and liberalism. With this book, Peter Carnley is guaranteed to once again set the public agenda for the Anglican Church in Australia.
