During the twentieth century, the relationship between the Church of England and the
British state was transformed. The character and dynamics of the connections shifted
as politics became more democratic and society more secular, as the role of the Crown
and parliament in Church government was curtailed, and as the Christian foundations
of secular law were weakened. Yet the increasing formal separation of Church and state
was not accompanied by ecclesiastical disengagement from politics and government.
Despite its falling membership, the Church of England continued - and continues -
to wield influence on political life in Britain. This volume of essays brings together
researchers in modern British religious, political, intellectual and social history
to consider the persistence of the Church's public significance. The introduction
reviews the developing literature on the relationships between the Church, the state
and politics from 1900 to recent times. The essays which follow consider aspects of
these complex intersections: in parliament, party politics and the parish; on the
nature of the Church establishment and conceptions of national identity; in religious
and sexual education; on colonial and foreign policies; on race and the multi-faith
society. In these various ways, the volume shows that pronouncements on a modern demise
of ecclesiastical influence in political life have been premature
