"The Anglican Communion stands as a crossroads. Some want Anglicanism to be exclusive of gays, especially gay priests and bishops. The Windsor Report is seen as the means of achieving this by centralizing the Anglican Communion, and bringing wayward provinces, like ECUSA, to heel. The hierarchy has spoken. But the theologians have not had their say. In this collection of essays, with contributors from some of the most prestigious centres of divinity in the world, including Yale, Oxford, Boston, Birmingham, Princeton, Bristol and Berkeley, distinguished academics from the UK and the US offer lively, thoughtful and scholarly critiques of the Windsor Report. What unites this collection is the view that Windsor does not provide a way forward for Anglicanism."--BOOK JACKET.
