For many of my students, Advent 2020 presented particular challenges since they found that the recurring utilization of ‘darkness’ as a metaphor for sin and death did not sit easily with their commitment to anti-racist thought and practice. This essay does not attempt to provide a definitive model for how Anglicans might engage fully with Advent themes, but serves as a paper to ‘think with’ in which the author (a) engages with Michael Battle’s work on Anglican spirituality and (b) describes how her own expertise on Gregory of Nyssa was brought to bear on present needs. The Advent focus on darkness and light, I propose, does not need to be circumvented but provides Anglicans who are attentive to the problems of racism with an opportunity to examine further their own approach to ‘darkness’.","PeriodicalId":40751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anglican Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49039583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nearly a quarter of the participants had given up online worship, attending offline services in church, or both: 15 per cent had given up on online worship, 13 per cent had given up on going to church, and 5 per cent had given up on both. Giving up was significantly correlated with negative experience of services. Those under the age of forty and Anglo-Catholics were most likely to give up online worship. Women and extraverts were most likely to give up on socially distanced services in church. The results indicate the sorts of people who might drift from the church post-pandemic and what the Church could concentrate on to prevent this process.","PeriodicalId":40751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anglican Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47401556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reforms, however, were accepted without real enthusiasm. To most Welsh people, worship in English was more strange than in Latin, but when both the Bible and Prayer Book were eventually translated into Welsh, it made the faith more intelligible. Yet if Wales was a Protestant nation and not a nation of Protestants, ironically it was those translations by Anglican divines that helped convert much of the population to nonconformity in the following centuries. Much of that conversion was down to eighteenth-century Methodist societies, which meant to revive Anglicanism from within, yet bearing the seeds of secession from their inception, because they transcended parish boundaries and were not accountable to the bishops. The intransigence of the latter was to lead to separation. Disestablishment eventually followed as all nonconformist denominations experienced phenomenal growth in the nineteenth century yet their members still had to pay tithes to the Established Church. The latter’s response both pastorally and spiritually came too late to avoid the break. Wales can hardly be called a Christian country today, when less than one per cent of its population regularly attend worship. The nonconformist revival was short lived and by now the disestablished Anglican church has also declined drastically in membership. The Roman Catholic Church has seen some small growth as a result of the influx of Roman Catholics from Eastern Europe. Yet, as this book demonstrates, the Christian faith has ebbed and flowed over the centuries. Rowan Williams reminds us in the preface, quoting the poet R.S. Thomas, that although we may be ‘living in the last quarter of the moon of Jesus’, it was that same poet who went on to say ‘people are becoming pilgrims again’ and ‘prayer too has its phases’. Who can therefore predict what the future might hold, if the history of the Christian faith over the last millennia is anything to go by?","PeriodicalId":40751,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anglican Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"174 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43409047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
