Living Postcolonial Anglicanism: Prospects for a Polycentric Anglican Communion (Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies in Religion and Theology)

With contributions from Anglican scholars from across the worldwide Anglican Communion, this volume reimagines the Anglican Communion as a polycentric and multivocal community serving God’s mission. The Anglican Communion faces many challenges and opportunities as its primary demographic continues to shift to the Global South, and its English and Western cultural and ecclesiological hegemony is increasingly called into question.As a global family of churches, the Anglican Communion has to explore new relationships, power dynamics, and ecclesiological practices as it lives into a postcolonial, multivocal, and polycentric Communion.This hopeful anthology offers theological and ecclesiological analyses, critical reflections on matters of justice and Anglicanism’s colonial legacy, as well as missional, and pastoral possibilities for a postcolonial Anglican Communion.
