About the Book

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.

Review :
As a pastor situated in the two-thirds world, I wholeheartedly commend this audacious reimagining of Anglicanism. As always, Kwok Pui-lan and Ian T. Douglas have ably curated inputs from a diverse array of scholars from the Anglican community, to explore paths that transcend colonial legacies. This publication is a meaningful contribution to contemporary discourse, and will to pave the way to a genuinely polycentric and life-affirming Communion. Living Postcolonial Anglicanism is an eye-opening and thought-provoking examination of the colonial legacy of Anglicanism and its ongoing impact. This book, rich in historical analysis, serves as an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone seeking to understand the evolving discourse on human rights and inclusion within the Anglican Communion. It is a timely and transformative read. Living Postcolonial Anglicanism offers a clear elucidation of the historical motives, methods, and manifestations of the colonial agenda. The examples given of how churches contextualize the Anglican tradition provide opportunities for the entire Communion to learn how to live out a new, postcolonial Anglicanism and to find unity in our diversity. This is a very timely publication. As Anglican Communion structures are being debated, with proposals to make them less centered on the set of Canterbury and more reflective of the diverse nature of its member churches, these essays provide extensive theological commentary on and passionate advocacy of this trajectory. As with it's widely read predecessor of 2001, Beyond Colonial Anglicanism, this volume will richly fulfil the editor's hopes of catalyzing discussion that shapes "our common dream for an embodied, pluralistic, and freeing postcolonial Anglicanism".
