Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="normal"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The Church of England is experiencing a significant decline in membership and in other forms of influence and engagement, whose implications may have consequences for the Anglican Communion as a whole. The qualitative as well as quantitative changes suggest the need for a renewal of Anglican public theology that maintains a positive account of the relationship between church and world while letting go the expectation of privilege and power. Articles in this issue of the <italic>Journal of Anglican Studies</italic> address the public character of Christianity in Britain after Christendom.</p> </abstract>
